I drove.
It's a smooth drive over a newly completed highway.

I’m impressed, obmar.
Is there a lot of highway construction going on in your country nowadays compared to a few years ago?? |

this one was quite new and it cut short the time by nearly half.
The distance is not that much a difference but being a lot straighter and with the lorries taking the normal route it is a lot faster.
have you heard about the smart tunnel?

What is SMART?
SMART is an acronym for Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel, a project under the Federal Government initiated to alleviate the flooding problem in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. The project is implemented through a joint venture pact between MMC Berhad and Gamuda Berhad with the Department of Irrigation And Drainage Malaysia and the Malaysian Highway Authority as the executing government agencies. |
