The government has agreed with the proposal to restructure four highway toll concession companies under Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (PROLINTAS) to reduce the toll rates of the highways involved, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
The Prime Minister said the reduction of toll rates involved Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH), Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE), Lebuhraya Kemuning-Shah Alam (LKSA) and Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway (SILK), effective 12.01 am on Oct 20.
Meanwhile, the toll reduction for Lebuhraya Kajang-Seremban (LEKAS) and Sungai Besi Expressway (BESRAYA) under IJM Corporation Berhad will come into effect from Jan 1 2023.
All improvement works which I have announced just now took into consideration the restructuring of toll rates with the concession agreements are being finalised.
Through the latest restructuring, the government will save RM8.8 billion in estimated compensation which should be paid to the concession companies involved. Highway users will enjoy the lower rate and lighten their burden.
