The widening of the North-South Expressway (NSE) will be added to the campaign manifesto of Barisan Nasional’s Johor division, after prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak instructed state BN chairman Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin to do so.
The project, which has been given the thumbs up by Najib, will involve increasing the number of lanes on the expressway from four to six. This is to help ease the congestion and frequent gridlocks that occur between Ayer Hitam and Johor Bahru, especially on weekends.
Najib added that work on the project would only begin as soon as the election was over, which is expected to be held very soon. Is the widening of the NSE something that you’ve been looking forward to for a very long time?

Ayuh Johor… Luaskan Kuasamu Johor.

widening road also luaskan kuasa ke? cannot brain
Even the 30% car price reduction also not done despite 5 years have passed. How to believe this?
Anyway, any widening would mean toll prices will go higher and higher and higher.
Remember, when work is done, someone somewhere makes big money
Why wanna reduce prices? When reduce alredi, u pulak hentam no RV. So mana mau ni?
Which world u came from that has bog standard cars RV higher than purchase price?
gomen konfius ke saya? knp lebih orang naik kereta ke setelah HSR?
Setelah HSR? U dari back to the future kah?
No
Instead of widening, I want to suggest why not built one straight stretch parallel tu current PLUs highway? There are just too many interchanges and too many cars. If one is driving from KL to JB or Singapore he doesn’t need to go through all the interchange sections. That means ,after melaka, he will be diverted onto the direct highway to JB. Only for cars. No commercial vehicles. Min speed limit 100kmh, max 125kmh.
Yes, plus can built that. No problem.
last time’s manifesto is to reduce car prices. until now also no news. susah lah like that.
Janji ditepati 16%

Not so easy or cheap as that parts of the hiway is fenced with hills & slopes.
Every construction works will face hills and slopes.
But going down south, u can see current hiway is by the hillsides. Anymore expansion will eat more into the hills and create more problems. Need a lot of study and complex engineering to ensure no problems. This not cheap.
I think you are confused with the Northern section. The south is just low rise hills with plantations on both side of the road. All countries (including Malaysia) build highways on mountain ranges (note: East-West Highway). So the challenge to build on the Southern section of the North-South Highway is the least among all the long distance highways in Malaysia.
Widen with no toll increase?
Toll Free – You get my vote.
Need to pay more oso okay lor. Less jam.
No toll increase. Just that toll collection period extend another 50 years. Hooray… _|_
Toll increase and extension..
Then.. Longer concession again. 2038 to 2058.
YES. YES! YES , YES, YES!
Do it already. Don’t wait for elections to be over. Do it now.
widen the road will not solved the source of jam… it just make the jam shorter a bit but wider jam… trace the source and solved it, not just simply wasted money.
The source is most Mysian have money to own cars. So your solution is? Lets make Mysian cannot own cars?
you can widen the highway all u want. nak 10 lanes? also can. but there will be traffic jam becos every month 50k cars are sold in our country. mana tak jam.
NSH is privatized, no? Why in BN manifesto? So, we Malaysians are footing the bill and yet pay a toll to use it? Ongtk
NSH is PNB owned, means alredi belong to Gov. Please read more.
As our member said … find the root caused of the jam first!
Cars too cheap lor. I proposed raise car tax 300%, road tax 500%. Gerenti to reduce jams.
higher car prices wont solve the problem because people still need to travel. all that will do is force potential myvi buyers to buy viva instead, civic buyers will buy city, etc.
short short Pasir GUdang hway also cannot finish
6 lanes merging to 2 lanes creates worse bottleneck, also jam la bro.
suddenly a lot new huge plan before a ‘storm’..after the ‘storm’ all become quiet…
Just like aboish PTPTN, now quiet alredi.
Just like wanna gip free EPL channel, now quiet alredi.
Just like wanna setup Protiga, now quiet alredi.
Promise 1st, think how to execute later. Much much later, if got.
Talk is cheap..whre the funds going to come from…sky..epf or china??
Prudent financial management.
Jb to air itam should be 8 lanes. Air itam to melaka 6 lanes. And slim river to ipoh, 6 lanes.
