Contra-flow lane activated on KL-Karak highway at KM123.10-KM124.70 towards Kuantan for three months


It added that the scope of this work will involve 14 areas that have been identified on the main route within the highway’s Right of Way (RoW). The flood mitigation project aims to deal with the increase in river levels and rain catchment areas that previously affected the route.

Since the opening of the LPT1 highway, four flooding incidents have occurred in 2007, 2014, January 2021 and December 2021, which caused the highway to be closed to all types of vehicles for several days.

The entire flood mitigation project, which is expected to take four years, involves raising the existing road surface level based on the highest flood level recorded as well as the introduction of measures in the affected area to prevent water from entering the main route.
