GERIK: The government has allocated RM350mil to upgrade the East-West Highway (JRTB), specifically the section in Perak or route FT004 under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) to make the route safer, more comfortable and resilient.
Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said preliminary work for the project under 13MP’s First Rolling Plan (RP1) could commence this year, and he hoped that some of it could be physically implemented next year.
