KUALA LUMPUR, March 11 — Following last month’s revelation, Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi today has officially launched the Section 11 portion of the West Coast Expressway . Covering Beruas to Taiping South, the new route will be opened to the public tomorrow, March 12 at 12.01am.Covering a distance of 35.5km, WCE’s Section 11 offers a direct connection from the PLUS highway in Changkat Jering to Beruas.
Since the route is also less hilly and smoother, WCE claimed that users may also experience some fuel savings as well. Meanwhile, you can also utilise the Section 11 portion of the WCE toll-free starting from the moment it opened to the public tonight until 11.59pm of May 11, 2024.The long toll-free period may seem a little bit out of the ordinary but Alexander has pointed out that this was done in consideration of the upcoming Raya season.
So, you will still incur a toll fee if you enter or exit using other toll plazas within WCE’s Perak alignment.Being positioned as the alternative route to the Northern part of Peninsular Malaysia, the WCE is a 314.5km highway that starts from Banting and ends at Taiping South. At the moment, only several sections of the highway have been opened to the public including Hutan Melintang to Beruas and Bandar Bukit Raja Selatan to Assam Jawa.
The opening of Section 11 can be considered a major milestone for WCE since this means that all of the highway’s routes in Perak can be used by the public. Other portions of WCE that are expected to be opened within this year include Section 1 and Section 2 while Section 3 and 4 will only be ready by mid-2025. —
