The Malaysian government's KL-Karak Expressway (KLK) expansion project, which includes a new 999-metre tunnel through Genting Sempah, is on track to be completed ahead of its 2030 target, according to Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi. The RM2.1 billion project, which involves widening 45.3km of the expressway in Selangor and Pahang, will improve safety and convenience for motorists traveling between the Klang Valley and the east coast.
The new tunnel will use the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) and operate alongside the existing westbound and eastbound tunnels. Nanta emphasized the strategic importance of the project in addressing traffic congestion and enhancing road safety.
