IPOH: The state government has received a suggestion from a private company to construct an alternative expressway to Kuala Kangsar, says Mentri Besar Datuk Saarani Mohamad.
Saarani said the construction company had proposed that the expressway be constructed from Gopeng to Kuala Kangsar to avoid passing through the Menora Tunnel.
“The proposed expressway will be able to divert traffic during peak season or when there is an accident near the tunnel.
“For the proposal to go through, the company will have to look for their own funds, as well as to seek permission from the federal government first, ” he told a press conference after launching a logo for the state Women and Community Development secretariat at the state secretariat building here on Wednesday (March 17).
