Gadang lands RM100m sub-contract under Central Spine Road project

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 17): Gadang Holdings Bhd has secured a RM100.34 million sub-contract under the Central Spine Road (CSR) project.

In a stock exchange filing, the construction engineering group said the work includes demolition, site clearance, earthwork and the construction of an access bridge to Kuala Berang.

CSR is a 347km toll-free highway aimed at motorists travelling between Bentong in Pahang and Kelantan.

Gadang said the 30-month subcontract will be completed by the first quarter of 2024.
