It will be a much smoother and faster journey as the highway bypass the populated places and towns between Kapar and Tg Karang. It will completely bypass Kuala Selangor.

That 2 non toll sections are already the best alignments and have 2 big bridges crossing the Bernam river and Perak river. Just need to upgrade them to benefit the local residents living  there too, namely Sekinchan, Sg Besar and Sabak Bernam.

People living in places between Kapar and Kuala Selangor will benefit too as the highway will lessen the traffic flow, especially during holidays.

Once the sections from Klang to Banting are completed, getting to the seaside recreational areas from Morib to Tg Sepat will be a cinch.

Klang to Morib is about 50km and would take more about 1.5 hours currently. The worse section is going through south klang and bukit tinggi.

People in north klang, setia alam and shah alam could be at morib in less than an hour, anytime... day or night. A lifestyle change.

(I have been to morib several times recently. There are new facilities... flood lights and 24 hours changing/shower rooms... lots of people setting up tents and camping there overnight.)

I went to Sekinchan recently. The traffic between Tg Karang and Sekinchan was very heavy, with many lorries.

Just imagine if this old trunk road is still single lane and with traffic lights at many places. smile.gif

Those days, I would rather divert 5-6 km to the back road going along the water canal, after Tg Karang and rejoin the road somewhere after Sg Besar.

Ya, when I came back from Sekinchan, Waze guided me to use the back road.

But, still, I hope there is a better road from Tg Karang to Sabak Bernam...
