Excavation works at Genting Tunnel to be completed in 2025
Transport minister Loke Siew Fook says excavation works of the first Genting Tunnel has reached a depth of 2,602m while the second tunnel has reached 2,497m.
BENTONG: Excavation works on the Genting Tunnel portion of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), spanning 16.39km through the Titiwangsa Range, are scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2025, said Loke Siew Fook.
The transport minister said the Genting Tunnel would be the first ECRL tunnel to use the tunnel boring machine (TBM) method compared to the drilling and blasting methods used in other tunnels. Work on the first tunnel started last June and the second three months later.
“So far, excavation works of the first Genting Tunnel have reached a depth of 2,602m and 2,497m for the second Genting Tunnel,” he told reporters after visiting the tunnel site here.
Loke also described the construction of the Genting Tunnel that connects Bukit Tinggi, Pahang and Gombak, Selangor, as a key component of the ECRL, as it completes the land bridge for cargo transportation from Kuantan Port to Port Klang, in addition to connecting passengers from the East Coast to Gombak.
On the ECRL construction work spanning a total of 665km, Loke said as of March, it has reached a progress rate of 42.06% while the current ECRL local participation is 96% of the estimated RM10.8 billion in civil works.
The minister also hoped that the project would continue to remain accident-free, especially since it had recorded 10 million working hours without any mishaps, even though it involved more than 17,000 workers at 350 main work sites.
“Compliance with safety and health aspects at work is absolute and cannot be neglected. I hope this project can be carried out smoothly and safely without sacrificing the interests of worker safety,” he said.
