Tuaran River Project Opens With Riverside Walkway and Tamu Bridge

Tuaran’s river conservation project and a new town car park were officially opened on 11 November 2026, bringing attention to improved pedestrian links and riverside facilities around the tamu area.

The river project cost RM16.47 million and was implemented by Sabah’s Drainage and Irrigation Department. It was completed on 7 June 2026, after work began on 13 November 2023, according to the department’s director, as reported by Daily Express and The Borneo Post.

The works include 900 metres of riverbank protection, a 900-metre riverside walkway, river-channel improvements, landscaping and a new bridge. The Tamu Tuaran pedestrian bridge takes inspiration from the traditional bubu fish trap and links communities across the river with the tamu area.

For residents, the practical additions are riverbank protection and space for walking, alongside the new parking facility opened at the ceremony. The reports do not specify parking capacity, charges or visitor operating hours.
