Construction of E32 West Coast Expressway is ongoing and progressing quite well at the moment!

The expressway starts at Changkat Jering (Taiping) (connected to E1 NSE) all the way to Banting. The tolled section is currently being constructed by WCE while two toll-free sections will be using the existing Federal Route 5 which will be upgraded to expressway by JKR. The toll-free sections are Tanjong Karang to Hutan Melintang (Sungai Bernam bridge) and from Teluk Intan to Kampung Lekir.

Perak alignment:
The east-west alignment from Parit to Changkat Keruing is currently deferred.


Selangor alignment:

Hope it will serve as an alternative road..
PLUS is too congested during festive season.

Many of us have concerns on the two toll-free stretches which will be using the existing FT5 which will be upgraded. The existing road itself is already congested and the local traffic will mix with expressway traffic at these 2 stretches.

That's a big no-no.. It should be upgraded wider or has it own dedicated lane..
Otherwise, it will somehow cause a bottleneck.

Is the WCE more like North-South Highway or LDP?

Cukur giant

It's more like North-South Expressway but like I mentioned above, the two toll-free stretches might end up like LDP.

NS highway in north should be upgraded to 3 lanes each at least to sg petani. Imagine after taiping where 2 highways connect to one 2 lanes highway during long holiday.............

Updated post with expressway alignment map. (see first post)

What is the progress now? Any ETA?

Can check update here: http://www.wce.com.my/project-updates

Expected in 2019.

Any updates up to day?

I live near section 5. Progressing nicely, the earthworks are completed for kapar-setia alam, only left the bridges and then roadworks. Setia alam-sg rasau is also progressing well, earthwork to flatten the stone hills behind the steel mill has been completed and now piling of red earth to form the road base.

However there are no action at all for section 6 that connects to sevtion 5, not sure what happen.

However surprise2 i went into jeram today and noticed that one location has the hillside cut up and some form of road surface can be seen although it is hardly even 500m. Cant see the alignment yet it is just the hillside cutting work and slope stabilisation which is in the middle of section 6.

Sorry i didnt took any photos.

90 degree turn at highway. looks like accident prone

Harap boleh setelkan masalah sesak esp area Tg Karang
