Riam Road is one of the oldest roads in Miri. Originally just a dirt and stone path road, today the road is tar sealed, and connects from Miri-Bintulu Roadway intersection at King Commercial Center to Alpine Road. The road originally connects to Riam, and it passes through the Riam cemeteries along the way, and nowadays is an alternative road to Morsjaya and intersects the Miri-Bypass Road to the Miri Airport.
