KUALA LUMPUR, June 22 — The main causes of the delay in the construction of the Lingkaran Tengah Utama Expressway Project are land acquisition and post-Covid-19 issues.
“Actually, there is only a slight delay, which is 55.36 per cent compared to the 56.75 per cent projection. So the delay is very slight,” he said during the question and answer session at the Dewan Negara today. Nanta said his ministry had also taken action to overcome the issues by holding engagement sessions with the agencies involved such as the Department of the Director-General of Lands and Mines as well as related parties in the state government.
Meanwhile, Nanta said the Section 5B LTU route from Kampung Orang Asli Sungai Chandan to Kampung Asap as well as the Section 5A Krau Intersection, Raub will be opened to vehicles on June 26.
