bp15-sk-cms-p1.jpg According to Sinar Harian, the Ministry of Works (KKR) has requested that highway concession companies in Malaysia conclude all maintenance and repair work on federal roads no later than two weeks prior to the 2024 Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations.

The Works Ministry Secretary-General Datuk Seri Hasnol Zam Zam stated that the ministry has directed all highway concession companies to finish maintenance projects that are technically complex and challenging to finish within the allotted time. This means that the projects must be finished one week ahead of the holidays.


The ministry will request that any construction or maintenance projects that take longer than expected be temporarily halted. This move is important to make sure that road users can easily plan their travels for the celebrations of Hari Raya Aidilfitri. IMG_20170105_145542_HDR.jpg

In areas under their jurisdiction that are affected by maintenance or construction projects, the works ministry has also requested that local governments and highway concession companies prepare traffic plans.

The minister further stated that one-way, contra-flow, bypass, and temporary bridges are essential to guaranteeing that drivers do not experience needless traffic jams during the holidays.


These guidelines also apply to businesses building new roads, such as the Lingkaran Tengah Utama, which connects Bentong, Pahang, with Kota Bharu, Kelantan. The ministry has also directed highway operators to make sure that there are no problems, like equipment malfunctions related to Touch 'n Go, SmartTag, and RFID lanes, that could cause inconvenience to drivers using the toll plaza facilities.

According to Hasnol, the works ministry has requested that any system problems with toll plaza lanes be fixed as soon as possible before the holiday season. Additionally, highway concession companies have been asked to make sure that staff are stationed to provide users with immediate assistance at every toll plaza.
