Johor to double budget for walkway on Malaysian side of Causeway

Iskandar Puteri, Johor

THE Johor state government is planning to build a 350-metre covered walkway for pedestrians on the Malaysian side of the Causeway, at a cost of RM30 million (S$9.9 million), a senior Johor official has said.

Once completed, the project would make it more comfortable for the hundreds of people who walk across the land link connecting Johor Baru to Woodlands, said Johor's state minister (exco) for Public Works, Infrastructure and Transport Committee on Sunday, as quoted by Bernama news agency.
