The construction of Phase Two will provide a road link between Miri and Lawas, as well as Limbang and Marudi. So far around 51% of Phase One has been completed, although the original target called for 62% to have been carried out by this stage. Costing close to US$4 billion, Phase One of the Pan Borneo Highway should be complete by late 2022 or early 2023.
