PLUS has announced that the North South Highway’s Sedenak to Senai additional lane project will start on June 28. The road widening works on the Johor stretch – which will make it three lanes versus the current two – will take 36 months.
The construction of an additional lane from Sedenak to Kulai (Package A) is part of Phase 1 of the Sedenak to Senai (northbound) highway expansion project. The contract was awarded to WCT Berhad after an open tender. The 14 km extra lane is expected to benefit almost 90,000 daily users, PLUS says.
If this sounds like susah-susah dahulu, PLUS says that the initial works will not affect traffic flow as the two existing lanes on both bounds will remain open.
This project is fully funded by the federal government and is expected to be a catalyst for socio-economic development in surrounding areas such as Sedenak, Kulai, Senai, Iskandar Malaysia and Pagoh.
They’ll never learn
They should widen all the way to Ipoh as well. Plus changkat jering to juru ( Penang) and sg dua to sg petani
Gomen help private highway operator who only know how to collect tolls but not how to please their clients..
PLUS Expressway is ultimately owned by Khazanah Nasional (51%) & EPF (49%). So government is helping their own investment
Northern means useless to you, ya PLUS? LLM?
The government needs to spread out the development cost so it takes longer than usual. So they do step-by-step. First in Johor since it is the economic corridor with the most potential. Then move further afield.
Having said that, I am a bit upset that they took so long to start widening the North South Expressway. As I recall, this was mooted way back in 2010 to 2018 and only now taking shape!
3 fking years for just 14km, I bet not even 1 year after its completion, that stretch of road sure kena maintenance.
Upgrade for 14km only, not 140km, pendek2 distance also taking many years
14km takes 1095days. 1 day 12 meter. Awesome.
great news for johorean! but if im not mistake, the project will be widen to ayer hitam not sedenak with the same budget refer to this link, : https://www.sinarharian.com.my/article/657518/edisi/johor/projek-pelebaran-lebuhraya-plus-diteruskan-hingga-ke-ayer-hitam
Absolutely stupid . They never learned. They should immediatey widen changkat jering to penang as wce completion will create a huge bottleneck 4 becomes 2 similar to elite joining plus . if they are not capable of doing it let others built a bypass that can be completed in 12 months
