BUKIT KAYU HITAM: The Works Ministry will work closely with all relevant stakeholders to address the delays affecting the Maju Expressway extension project (MEX II), says Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi (pic).
“MEX II, as everyone is aware, is facing challenges in reaching completion.
“However, the good news is that all relevant parties, including the Finance Ministry, Works Ministry and Public Works Department, are working together to help resolve the issue.
“The project funders, from whom the developer is securing financing to move the project forward, are also cooperating.
“It’s all currently in progress,” he told reporters here yesterday, Bernama reported.
Earlier, Nanta inspected the progress of a road alignment project linking the Bukit Kayu Hitam Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security Complex to the Sadao Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex in Thailand.
He said a series of meetings, to be chaired by the Works Ministry’s deputy secretary-general, will be held soon to determine the necessary actions to resolve the issues causing the delay.
The 18km MEX II, which will connect Putrajaya to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, began construction in 2016 and was initially scheduled for completion in December 2019.
