Sungai Terusan Muda is one of the primary rivers in Kedah, playing a crucial role in supporting the state's agricultural and fishing industries. Its significance extends beyond its natural resources, as it is vital to the livelihoods of many local communities. Running above the river is a public road that has grown increasingly outdated and unsustainable due to the heavy use it has sustained over the years. As traffic volume continues to rise, the infrastructure supporting this route is facing significant strain, which could lead to potential safety and operational issues if not addressed promptly.

The project spanned nearly two years, reflecting the extensive scope of work involved. This included road and river widening, the construction of a temporary route for road users, and the installation of complex bridge structures. The project, situated on a heavily trafficked public road, presented significant challenges, particularly in maintaining user safety and ensuring smooth traffic flow throughout the construction process. As such, meticulous planning and the implementation of comprehensive traffic management strategies were paramount to the success of the project.
