After more than a year, Batang Kali-Genting road reopened today

The B66 Batang Kali-Genting Highlands road which was closed following a landslide tragedy that claimed 31 lives in December 2022, will be reopened today.

The District Public Works Department (JKR) of Hulu Selangor announced that the route will be open to all road users at 3 PM. In December 2022, the Ministry of Works announced that the Batang Kali-Genting Highlands road was expected to be closed for a year to allow for repair works on the slopes and roads in the landslide incident area.

Last April, Deputy Minister of Works, Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan, was reported to have said that the repair project, involving approximately RM19 million in costs, had reached 86 percent completion, with remaining works including slope reinforcement and wall construction.
