SEREMBAN: The construction of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project for the proposed 58.87 km alignment in Negeri Sembilan will begin in the third quarter of this year, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said today.
The rail alignment will involve two stations, Klawang in Jelebu and Nilai .
“We will begin work on government land first and as for the private land, we have to wait until the land acquisition is completed.
“So I urge the public to go and see the ECRL roadshow at their respective district and land offices to know about the alignments and the impact on the land involved. Any feedback or objection can be forwarded to us,” he told reporters after visiting the ECRL roadshow at the Seremban district and land office here.
The public have until April 14 to view the proposed ECRL plan in the state.
Loke said the Klawang Station will be built near the main road in front of the Klawang Vocational College while the Nilai Station will be constructed near the Arab Malaysian Industrial Park.
He said the Nilai Station, an integrated station, would be connected to the new KTM commuter station.
The ECRL project involves three sections: Kota Bharu-Mentakab (410 km), Dungun-Mentakab (265 km) and Mentakab-Port Klang (165 km). – Jan 31, 2020, Bernama
