Kuala Lumpur: Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi has dismissed claims that the Lingkaran Tengah Utama (LTU) Expressway will be opened soon. Commenting on a viral video circulating on social media, which claimed that Section 4A of the LTU, covering part of the road between Raub, Kuala Lipis, and Gua Musang, would be opened for Aidilfitri, he clarified that the route was still under construction, with the expected completion date set for August 26.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Nanta stated, “I was informed by the Public Works Department (PWD) that construction progress on this route has reached 83.21 per cent.” He made this statement today, emphasizing the importance of relying on verified information.

Acknowledging road users’ eagerness to use the new route, especially for their Aidilfitri journey home, Nanta urged the public not to spread unverified information. He cautioned that spreading such information could pose risks to road users’ safety and lead to potential dangers.

Nanta expressed hope that the route could be opened as scheduled for the convenience of all road users, particularly those traveling to Pahang and Kelantan. However, he emphasized the importance of ensuring the route’s completion to the highest standards for the comfort and safety of all road users. He urged everyone to be patient as the construction is completed.
