Klang’s third bridge to open by March

Work on the bridge is now going on at a rapid pace after the contractor failed to meet the first two schedules in June and December this year.

WHEN the third Klang bridge was first announced by former Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, many Klang residents had their reservations because the royal town’s third bridge across the Klang River had been a long time coming.

After decades of promises, there was even a ground-breaking ceremony officiated jointly by then Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo and former works minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu ahead of the 13th general election in 2008.
