THE Works Ministry has identified 21 roads affected by natural disasters, said its minister Alexander Nanta Linggi.

He said these were eight state roads and 13 federal roads in Johor, Pahang, Kelantan, Perak, Terengganu, Kedah and Selangor.

“Of the 21 locations, four were due to floods, collapsed slopes (10 locations), collapsed roads (four), and damaged or collapsed bridges (three).

“Johor was the most affected state with six roads, followed by Pahang (four), Kelantan and Perak (three each), Kedah and Terengganu (two each), and Selangor (one),” he said.

He said this to reporters after inspecting the construction of Federal Route FT008, Section 258 of the Lingkaran Tengah Utama Expressway project near Paloh in Kelantan today.

Nanta said the project was on schedule and was 58%.

“There have been no major problems, except for issues related to land acquisition.

“We are committed to resolving these issues promptly, ensuring the project remains on track for completion by 2027,” he said. – Bernama, January 7, 2024.
