KL-Karak Highway Expansion Includes Crucial Flood Mitigation Measures

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – May 21, 2025 – The ongoing expansion of the KL-Karak highway is incorporating crucial flood mitigation measures, according to a recent report by Berita RTM. The project, which is expected to improve traffic flow, also aims to enhance the highway's resilience against flash floods. The mitigation efforts focus on upgrading drainage systems and improving infrastructure along the East Coast Highway 1 (LPT1). "The work includes improving the drainage system and infrastructure to reduce the risk of flash flooding along the highway," stated the Berita RTM reporter.
