“We anticipate the works will be completed within the stipulated timeframe, and possibly ahead of the target date,” he told Media Selangor.
Previously, Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said the large-scale project aims to ensure that roads in Selangor are in good condition for road users' safety.
He said the selection of roads for repairs was based on the highest number of complaints from the public, reported through X (formerly Twitter) or the Infrasel app.
The 2025 Selangor Budget allocates RM50 million to continue the Mega Road Resurfacing Project, encompassing road maintenance and widening to enhance public facilities, which will be carried out comprehensively.
