Traffic diversion on Karak Highway to make way for construction work of ECRL project
A temporary traffic diversion on the Kuala Lumpur–Karak Highway (KLK) involving the stretch from KM25.75 to KM26.4 heading towards Kuantan (from Gombak to Genting Sempah) has been activated recently to make way for the construction works of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project. Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) director-general Datuk Sazali Harun said the diversion involves converting the existing three-lane route into a one-way traffic flow towards Kuala Lumpur, while maintaining the same total lane capacity to ensure smooth traffic movement throughout the implementation period. He said LLM, along with concessionaire AFA PRIME Berhad and Malaysia Rail Link (MRL), have conducted several series of continuous monitoring since the traffic diversion was activated. 'Based on the latest monitoring, carried out on July 14, 2025, it was found that the traffic situation at the location was orderly, under control and smooth moving,' he said in a statement today. Meanwhile, he said the Traffic Management Plan (TMP) design for the diversion had been reviewed and confirmed by road safety auditors through the Road Safety Audit (RSA) Level 4 Part 1. 'RSA Level 4 Part 2 will be implemented on July 30 to assess compliance with implementation standards and to review any proposed improvements based on the progress observed at the site,' he said. Therefore, the public is advised to adhere to all safety signage at the site and to plan their journeys in advance to avoid traffic congestion. — BERNAMA

Temporary traffic diversion activated on KL-Karak Expressway
IPOH: A temporary traffic diversion is in place along KM25.75 to KM26.4 of the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway heading towards Kuantan to facilitate construction for the East Coast Rail Link project. Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) Director-General Datuk Sazali Harun said the diversion redirects the existing three-lane carriageway to a one-way lane on the opposite side towards Kuala Lumpur. This maintains a three-lane capacity to ensure smooth traffic flow during the diversion. "The Traffic Management Plan design has been reviewed and approved by a road safety auditor through the Stage 4 Part 1 Road Safety Audit. "The next audit, RSA Stage 4 Part 2, will be carried out on Wednesday (July 30) to assess compliance during implementation and to propose improvements based on construction progress," he said in a statement on Thursday (July 17). He added that LLM, together with concessionaire AFA PRIME Bhd and Malaysia Rail Link, has been conducting continuous monitoring since the diversion's activation. "The latest monitoring carried out on Monday (July 14) showed that traffic at the location remained orderly, controlled and smooth." He advised road users to adhere to safety signage at the site and to plan their journeys in advance to avoid congestion.
