: Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad clarified that the temporary closure of the railway tracks between Kempas Baru and Johor Port in Pasir Gudang, Johor is to carry out much-needed rehabilitation and upgrading works along the route.
“In addition to needing major repairs to support the growing demands of heavier and faster freight trains, the rehabilitation will also focus on relocating squatters encroaching on the railway reserve, and enhancing surface water drainage systems to prevent flooding caused by urban development,“ the statement read.
He added that the comprehensive restoration and repair of the tracks was initially projected to take about 24 months without a full closure, but with the full closure, it is now expected to be completed in just six months.
