Simpang Pulai to Kuala Berang Road Project
(Perak - Kelantan - Terengganu)
LOCATION OF THE PROJECT
The proposed route runs through the states of Perak, Pahang,
Kelantan and Terengganu,
starting at Simpang Pulai and traversing
through the main range at Lojing, and ending at Kuala Berang.
PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK
The total distance of the proposed road is 313.66 km, excluding the
41 km existing road from
Gua Musang to Chiku, Kelantan. The
road is designed to JKR geometric standard of R3
with a design speed
of 50 km/h.
In terms of riding comfort, this R3 standard falls in between the R5 or
R6 standard for
expressway (typically with a design speed of 80-110 km/h)
and R1 or R2 standard
such as the winding hilly road (typically with a design
speed of 20-30 km/h).
Typically, the road is a two-lane single carriageway with a lane
width of 3.5m and shoulder
width of 2.5m. Climbing lanes are also
provided at certain sections with steep gradient, to
assist slow
moving vehicles. The project also involves the construction of
viaducts, bridges
and culverts.
ESTIMATED COST
The entire project is estimated to cost RM1.6 billion and
divided into 10 packages for implementation.
