WCE Seksyen 7: Persimpangan Tanjong Karang - Assam Jawa / Ijok (Julai 2025)

The West Coast Expressway (WCE) / Lebuhraya Pantai Barat (LPB) is an interstate controlled-access highway running along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The 233-kilometre (145-mile) expressway is currently under construction, with several sections open for public use. Once completed, the expressway will run between Changkat Jering, Perak and Banting, Selangor, following federal routes 5 and 60 for most of its route. The expressway will operate in three sections, with sections of federal route 5 completing the missing connections; these sections will be upgraded to limited-access roads. The expressway is expected to be fully completed by the end of 2024, except for a 10 km stretch from Section 7B which is expected to be completed by June 2026. The expressway is being built by Konsortium Lebuhraya Pantai Barat. Approval was given by the government for the construction, which was to begin from 20 December 2013 and was to be completed within five years. It originally was given route code E28 but later changed to E32, and E28 was used by Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge. The project was delayed and actual construction began in May 2014. Currently, a 9.7-kilometre (6.0 mi) segment between Kapar and Bukit Raja, a 19-kilometre (12 mi) segment from Hutan Melintang to Teluk Intan and a 45-kilometre (28 mi) segment from Lekir to Beruas are opened to traffic. Once the expressway is completed, it will be the fourth longest in Peninsular Malaysia, after the North-South Expressway Northern Route, the East Coast Expressway and the North-South Expressway Southern Route. #wce #tanjongkarang #selangor #malaysia #fawwazmedia --------------------
