THE long-awaited RM41mil road widening project from Taman Kempas Utama to Kampung Maju Jaya is finally ready.
Johor works, transportation, infrastructure and communications committee chairman Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh said the project involved widening the existing two-lane road into a 2.2km four-lane dual carriageway to ease traffic congestion.
“The project, launched in 2018, was supposed to be completed in 2020 but faced delays and was extended to 2021, before being re-tendered to a new contractor in 2023.
“The main roadworks were physically completed around March and April this year, while remaining works involving the demolition of the old bridge and installation of new street lamps were finalised in August,” he said after launching the road upgrading project.
He said parts of the road were opened earlier to benefit motorists, especially during peak hours.
