The Malaysian authorities doesn’t plan to improve the FT2 Federal Freeway regardless of the route having recorded its most congested site visitors service stage based mostly on 2024 site visitors information, reported New Straits Occasions.
This choice was taken because the proposal to improve the 34.59 km-long route between Kuala Lumpur and Port Klang is now not economically viable as a result of excessive prices of land and asset acquisition, in addition to potential social influence if the freeway improve undertaking is to proceed, mentioned works minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.
“Based mostly on 2024 site visitors information, the extent of service (LOS) on the FT2 Federal Freeway at Census Station BR101 was recorded at ‘LOS F’, indicating heavy site visitors movement, just like FT28 of the Center Ring Street 2 (MRR2) at Census Station BR903,” Nanta mentioned throughout a query and reply session within the Dewan Negara at present, the report wrote.
In the meantime, the works minister mentioned in August this yr that the Federal Freeway is ready to obtain a RM20 million allocation for the upgrading of its bike lanes, although there aren’t any plans so as to add extra bike lanes to different main roads.
The federal government has to conduct complete research earlier than new bike lanes are constructed in an effort to keep away from new conflicts on roads with quite a few entry and exit factors, Nanta mentioned on the time.
