THE Public Works Department (PWD) has assured that Jalan Gua Musan- Lojing in Kelantan is safe for all vehichles.
The Department?s Slope Division director Datuk Dr Ashaari Mohammad said, although there were landslips and a major road cave-in, causing the stretch at Km85 to be vehicles for a few weeks the PWD had taken remedial measures to ensure that the road was safe for use.
He said the occurrence of landslips during the recent rainy spell was due to the lack of monitoring by the department.
? If soil movements on hillslopes or cracked stretches of road are identified earlier, then immediate preventive measures can be taken. But in this case, it was too late,? he said.
He added that more frequent monitoring would be carried out at several location such as Km54, 71.1 and 83 to prevent landslips or road cave-ins
