Malaysia Unveils Rail Route

The proposed route of the 600km East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) has been unveiled by the Malaysian government to allow a three-month window of feedback from the population.

The USD13 billion Chinese-financed project is planned to start in the west near the capital Kuala Lumpur cutting across the peninsula and terminating near the Thai border with 23 stations proposed along the route.

Following the confirmation of the final route, construction is expected to be completed by 2024 and will reduce the journey from 12 hours by road to four hours by train.

Construction is to be undertaken by the Chinese state-owned China Construction Communication Company.
