Serendah Port Klang Rail

In the news today , government will be allocating RM 9 bil to build new electrified double-track rail to transport freight that will bypass Klang Valley's KL Sentral. The plan is to have new rail connections that would divert the trains from three areas – namely Serendah, Port Klang and Seremban. This will provide more room for KL Sentral to ferry more passengers.



This effectively would mean that the trains from the north will be diverted at Serendah and onwards proceed to Port Klang or Seremban. The trains from the south will by-pass the Klang Valley KL Sentral by cutting off at Seremban. The project is expected to take around 5 years broken down into 2 phases. 

This project is seen as a boon to areas like Bukit Beruntung which is very near to Serendah.
