History

On 4 May 1968, the 67 Gurkha Independent Field Squadron of the Queen's Gurkha Engineers built the first road alongside the river. [3]

Soil erosion destroyed the road connecting Kampong Belais and Buda-Buda in the early 2000s. [4]

The Pandaruan Bridge which is also known as the Brunei–Malaysia Friendship Bridge, crosses the river linking Pandaruan in Sarawak, Malaysia, and Kampong Puni in Temburong, Brunei. [5] The opening of the bridge on 8 December 2013 enabled the vehicular ferry service, which was then the only means for vehicles to cross the river, to be discontinued.

Brunei and Malaysia have border crossing checkpoints at these locations. [5] Vacation lodges were scheduled to be completed by the end of 2019. [4]
