Much have changed in the infrastructure developments around the former Roundabout 3. The area is about 5 km from Bintulu town. Today, we see mammoth signboards giving it an ultra urban look. The roundabout has been turned into a traffic lights junction. The latest development can be seen at right of the picture below. Many blocks of 3 and 4-storey shop houses have been completed, though not yet occupied at the point of writing. The main site of the shop houses was previously JKR's temporary stock pile area and an indoor badminton building was situated there too.
As Bintulu moved into its Millenial Era ( after its last fourth boom) and starting in 2016, it remains the brightest star in its capacity as Sarawak's prime example of rapid physical development, socio-economic progress, urban population growth and proper town planning.
