KUANTAN: AFA Prime Berhad will implement a Traffic Management Plan on a section of the East Coast Expressway (LPT1) from April 1 to facilitate a flood mitigation project.

The plan will be in effect from Kilometre 116 to Kilometre 117 eastbound for the medium term to carry out Package 1A of the works.

Work on the project will be implemented in stages to ensure the safety of highway users and maintain smooth traffic flow.

The Traffic Management Plan has undergone a comprehensive technical evaluation, including a Road Safety Audit and verification by independent consultants and engineers.

AFA Prime will implement continuous traffic and safety monitoring in collaboration with the Malaysian Highway Authority to ensure smooth and safe highway operations throughout the period.

Executive director Vijayaraj Govindarajoo said the initiative aims not only to meet current needs but also to strengthen the long-term safety and sustainability of the highway infrastructure.

“We are committed to implementing this initiative in a planned and integrated manner to ensure highway users continue experiencing smooth and comfortable journeys throughout the implementation period,” he added.
