PETALING JAYA: WCE Holdings Bhd’s 80%-owned subsidiary West Coast Expressway Sdn Bhd has commenced tolling yesterday for three sections of the West Coast Expressway (WCE).
These are Section 8 (Hutan Melintang–Teluk Intan), Section 9 (Kampung Lekir–Changkat Cermin) and Section 10 (Changkat Cermin–Beruas) of the expressway.
The 233km long WCE from Taiping, Perak, to Banting, Selangor, is a greenfield highway project with its 50-year concession agreement signed with the government in January 2013. It runs parallel to PLUS’ North South Expressway (NSE), and is expected to offload some of the traffic from the NSE as well as provide connectivity to towns along the west coast.
Construction of the expressway commenced in 2014 and was initially slated for completion in 2019. However, there were delays stemming from land acquisition proceedings and route realignment plans by the previous government.
