This dual carriageway will be built from Lumut Bypass (dual carriageway) stretching eastwards through the woods at about 3 kilometres south of the remaining stretch of Jalan Tutong-Seria (see note) (single carriageway), merging with the dual carriageway Tutong Bypass at north-east. The total length of the highway is 18.6 kilometres (11.6 miles).
The new highway will ease traffic between Tutong and Kuala Belait, cutting travel times between the affected stretch.
After more than 3 years delay, the highway was finally opened for public use on 28th June 2016.
