Demolishing of Batu Tiga toll plaza underway

SHAH ALAM: The work to demolish the Batu Tiga toll plaza that ended its operation earlier this year is underway.
Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA) director-general Datuk Ismail Md Salleh said the demolition process was going according to schedule.
"We began the tender process in January and the work was supposed to start after the Chinese New Year holidays," he said.
Ismail said the work was expected to be completed by the end of March.
He also dismissed rumours alleging that the demolition was sped up following the second accident that claimed another two lives on Monday night.
Meanwhile, Plus highway managing director Datuk Azman Ismail in a statement said the work will be done in stages.
Work began in January with the relocation of toll equipment, signage as well as other assets.
He said this was carried out from Jan 22 to Feb 8.
"Traffic management and lane closures began on Tuesday," he added.
Azman also urged road users to be wary and adhere to the signboards and alerts when approaching the toll plaza.
Toll collection at the Batu Tiga and Sg Rasau toll plazas was abolished from midnight of Jan 1.
