The project to widen the road and improve its capacity is likely to commence in mid 2011 and cost in excess of US$229 million. At present the Malaysian Public Works Ministry is preparing the tender process and is finalising the design. The work will include straightening the road, which will allow higher a design speed and help boost safety, as well as cutting journey times. The Malaysian Public Works Ministry has bought up most of the land required for the road upgrade and expects to complete this process shortly.
