A RIVER in the state capital Johor Baru will be cleaned up, deepened and revitalised in a RM2.5 billion (S$919.6 million) project to turn it into a "Venice of the East".
The River City @ Danga Bay project will feature riverfront cafes, heritage shows and hotels and apartments along 6km of the 15km-long Danga River.
