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 {{Convert|7.7|km}} long, was built from Seri Kompleks in Batu Satu, Jalan Tutong past Kampong Kiulap and Gadong, and then towards Brunei International Airport.{{Cite news |date=2024-03-02 |title=Sambutan Ulang Tahun Hari Kebangsaan Negara Brunei Darussalam Kali Ke-40 |url=https://www.pelitabrunei.gov.bn/Keluaran%20Khas%20Dokumen/2024/020324_SISIPAN%20KHAS%20HK%2040%20EDISI%20KEDUA.pdf |access-date=2024-08-22 |work=Pelita Brunei |pages=3 |language=ms}}
