IPOH: It will be the end of the road in June for the nation's deadliest toll plaza which claimed more lives yesterday.
The Jelapang toll plaza will be demolished and moved 800m away, Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said.
This will overcome the problem of accidents caused by heavy vehicles that encounter brake failure while travelling downhill to the toll plaza.
The new Ipoh North toll plaza with two interchanges will cost RM40 million.
Samy Vellu, however, reminded drivers of heavy vehicles to continue to exercise caution once the new Ipoh North toll plaza was opened to the public.
"We remind them to reduce speed but they always forget," he said after visiting the toll plaza here.
