Muar 2nd Bridge Link-Road

The Muar 2nd Bridge and the link-road is a stretch of expressway from Parit Bunga ending at Jalan Abdul Rahman, Muar. There are many junctions with traffic lights along the double-lane expressway. With this expressway, traffics going south from Melaka and Tangkak can by-pass Muar town, avoiding the traffic jam in the town centre. No toll is payable.

There is one unique feature of the expressway. Vehicles traveling above 110 km/h will fly off the ground due to the uneven road surface at some parts of the expressway, at those places where there are underground culverts. Vehicles with low ground clearence will suffer damage at the under carriage. Scratch marks on the road are visible at those places. So be careful when driving along the expressway. Go slow.

Many accidents have happened at the traffic light junctions. Don't take it for granted that green means green! Keep a proper lookout even it is green. Malfunction of traffic lights may cause serious consequences.

14 kilometers of road including bridge.
