UEM Edgenta eyes long-term job for all PLUS Highways

The current maintenance cost of the highways under PLUS has come under the spotlight following a recent proposal by the Maju group to take over PLUS from its current owners, which are the UEM Group and the Employees Provident Fund.

PETALING JAYA: Integrated facility manager and engineering contractor services provider UEM Edgenta Bhd has submitted a proposal to PLUS Malaysia Bhd seeking to maintain all of PLUS’ highways on a long-term basis.

The preliminary proposal highlights UEM Edgenta’s want for a mandate to maintain all the highways under the toll concessionaire including the 772km North South Expressway (NSE) for the remaining 21 years of the concession period.
