Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Highway (Malay: Lebuhraya Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah; Jawi: ليبوهراي سلطان حسنال بولكيه) is a major highway in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei.

History

Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah officially opened the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Highway on Monday, 18 August 1986. The massive project, which was built at a cost of about B$40 million, was designed to lessen traffic congestion at the time. This expressway, which is around 7.7 kilometres (4.8 mi) long, was built from Seri Kompleks in Batu Satu, Jalan Tutong past Kampong Kiulap and Gadong, and then towards Brunei International Airport.

Route background

Kilometre 0 of the highway starts at Jalan Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha, two kilometres away from the capital centre, Bandar Seri Begawan, next to the commercial area of Batu Satu. The highway starts from the junction southeast and then makes a sharp bend to continue northwest. The highway passes by the Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha Hospital, Kiulap, and Kiarong. At the Kiarong Roundabout, the highway goes through the roundabout via an underpass and makes a turn north. The highway flies over Jalan Gadong and passes by the commercial area of Gadong. Further along is where Tungku Highway begins its route, starting westwards. The highway makes a smooth curve northeast, then passes by the Brunei International Airport. Then, it flies over Jalan Utama Berakas and passes by settlements of Lambak and Madang. The highway sharply turns southeast and ends at the Sungai Tilong-Sungai Akar-Manggis-Serusop Roundabout at Sungai Akar. The road then continues as Jalan Sungai Akar towards Land Transport Department Headquarters.

Speed Limit

The speed limit for this highway is 80 kilometres per hour (km/h) for typical road conditions. During wet road conditions, the speed limit is 65 km/h. Exceptions to this rule are:

  • 50 km/h on all ramps along the highway.
  • 65 km/h on kilometre 0 to kilometer 0.5 due to a sharp bend.
