The much-awaited RTS link is now 52% completed, says MRT Corp CEO Zarif Hashim.
KUALA LUMPUR: The construction of the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link is progressing well, and is now 52% completed.
“This project is entering the main construction phase from this month and every inch of land that will be used will be built on. Therefore, we request motorists in Johor Bahru, especially on Jalan Tun Abdul Razak near JB Sentral, not to park their cars or wait for passengers along the route as this will cause congestion.
“For this purpose, an open tender was conducted to find a reputable contractor. The tender went through several levels of evaluation, from the board level to the One-Stop Procurement Committee at the government level. “We believe that with the use of an electronic gate system for passport control at the entrance, passengers will only take 15 minutes to reach and vice versa.
