PETALING JAYA: The Army has deployed its 91st Assistance Regiment, 91st Royal Engineer Army Regiment and the Second Royal Engineer Army Regiment to construct a compact Bailey 200 bridge at Kampung Belimbing, Pahang.
In a statement on Thursday (Jan 14), it said the team was deployed to the location on Tuesday (Jan 12). The bridge construction was conducted to reconnect three locations which were cut off - Kampung Serengkam, Sri Makmur and Sri Jaya - after the original bridge collapsed from erosion due to strong river current. It will benefit over 2,600 people affected there, the statement read.
The statement added this was the second bridge constructed by the Army in Pahang, after the first bridge was completed at Kampung Lechar, Ulu Dong, Raub on Jan 9.
