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.[1]
