The Malaysian authorities doesn’t plan to improve the FT2 Federal Freeway regardless of the route having recorded its most congested site visitors service degree based mostly on 2024 site visitors information, reported New Straits Occasions.
This resolution was taken because the proposal to improve the 34.59 km-long route between Kuala Lumpur and Port Klang is not economically viable because of the excessive prices of land and asset acquisition, in addition to potential social affect if the freeway improve mission is to proceed, stated 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 stream, much like FT28 of the Center Ring Highway 2 (MRR2) at Census Station BR903,” Nanta stated throughout a query and reply session within the Dewan Negara at this time, the report wrote.
In the meantime, the works minister stated in August this 12 months that the Federal Freeway is ready to obtain a RM20 million allocation for the upgrading of its bike lanesalthough 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 with a view to keep away from new conflicts on roads with quite a few entry and exit factors, Nanta stated on the time.
