PETALING JAYA: The lower construction cost of the East Coast Rail Link Project (ECRL) 3.0 was achieved through a series of contract renegotiations that were finalised in 2019 and 2022, says the Transport Ministry.
In a statement on Thursday (Dec 22), the ministry explained that among the factors that contributed to the reduction of the overall construction cost were the comprehensive implementation of value engineering (VM) and the realignment of the ECRL track on Section C (Temerloh Serendah-Klang Port).
