Perjalanan darat antara Kota Kinabalu ke Pantai Timur Sabah, terjejas akibat kejadian mendapan tanah di Kilometer 120 jalan Kota Kinabalu - Sandakan, pada malam Isnin 20 Februari 2012.
Kejadian berpunca hujan lebat.
Mendapan tanah sedalam kira kira 6 meter itu berlaku di kilometer 12, jalan Ranau-Telupid, menyebabkan puluhan kenderaan terjejas.
Kenderaan terpaksa melalui jalan alternatif di kampung berhampiran.
Namun Pengarah JKR Sabah, Datuk John Anthony berkata kerja membina laluan 1 lorong di jalan yang mendap dijangka siap malam ini.
Manakala kedua dua lorong jalanraya berkenaan dijangka siap esok.
Jalan berkenaan adalah laluan utama dari Kota Kinabalu ke bandar utama Pantai Timur Sabah seperti Sandakan, Lahad Datu dan Tawau.
Versi bahasa Inggeris pula :
A section of the Kota Kinabalu-Sandakan road collapsed during heavy rains late Monday, 20th February 2012.
At least about 150m of the road at KM120 was completely washed away, cutting off links between Sabah's west and east coasts.
Sabah Public Works Department director Datuk John Anthony said that by early Tuesday, 21st February 2012, they had managed to build an alternative gravel bypass for vehicles to pass through.
However, the by-pass is only passable for smaller vehicles, he said, adding that lorries and buses could not pass through.
"We are working on the bypass to enable larger vehicles to pass through. We hope to complete it by today," he added.
