Works Ministry Will carry out flood mitigation works on LPT1
The Works Ministry will carry out immediate flood mitigation works in 14 locations along the East Coast Expressway Phase 1 (LPT1) with an RM200 million allocation to prevent future floods, according to Bernama.
According to Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, four incidents of flooding have occurred along LPT1 since its inception in 2004.
The minister said that the highway was closed to all vehicles several days before due to floods that occurred in 2007, 2014, and twice in 2021, in January and December.
“Ten flood-prone locations have been identified, namely at Kilometre (KM) 84.7, KM112, KM113, KM114, KM115, KM116, KM117, KM124, KM126 and KM198. Four more locations at risk of flooding have also been identified, namely at KM156, KM178, KM242 and at Ramp A, Jabor Junction,”
“I have been briefed and seen the progress of this project. Currently, earthworks at KM117 and KM124 are being carried out and expected to be completed in October 2024,” he added.
