MARAN: The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project has reached another milestone with the successful excavation of all tunnels from Kelantan to Mentakab, Pahang.
Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali, who is the Malaysia Rail Link chairman, said the breakthrough of the Kampung Gedung Siam 3 tunnel here marked the completion of tunnelling works along the Section A and Section B alignments.
He said the tunnel needed to be built to enable the ECRL railway track to comply with its maximum gradient of 0.74% as well as to avoid major open forest felling in the village area. He said with the success in Section B, MRL was confident tunnelling works in Section C, from Mentakab to Port Klang, would also proceed smoothly and according to schedule.
He also said the ECRL project was pleased with the completion of critical works involving the installation of long-span bridges of 108m each at five locations in Sections A and B, adding that the installation of ECRL tracks would be implemented in the fourth quarter of 2023, beginning with the 90km rail alignment from Gebeng to Dungun.
