Phase one of the federal government project involves 706km that starts from the southwestern border town of Sindumin to Kota Kinabalu and to the east coast of Sandakan-Tawau.Phase two involves upgrading the 98km road from Tamparuli to Ranau and the third phase involves 432km in southern Sabah that links the east coast Tawau town to interior Keningau and southwestern Beaufort.
