Toll collection begins June 13 for WCE Section 2 stretch linking Banting to SKVE, rates start from RM1.32
WCE said toll collection for the 7.2-kilometre stretch, which has been toll-free since its official opening on Jan 22 by Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, will be entirely electronic, utilising Touch 'n Go cards, SmartTAGs, and RFID technology.
'The toll rates and payment methods for Section 2 of the WCE are fully integrated via the SKVE through the Tanjung Dua Belas Interchange.
'The toll rates imposed take into account the entire journey of the users, including the portions on the SKVE,' the highway operator said, adding that toll charges will vary based on vehicle class and travel distance, ranging from RM1.32 to RM13.85.
Highway users are advised to ensure that their e-wallets and Touch 'n Go cards have sufficient balance before starting their journey to avoid any inconvenience at toll plazas, WCE said.
Further information regarding toll rates and payment methods can be found at the WCE website, the WCE App, the WCE Infoline at 1700 81 6600 and via email at [email protected].
The WCE spans 233 km from Banting, Selangor, to Taiping (Changkat Jering), Perak. Once fully completed, it will serve as a vital transportation corridor connecting towns along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. — Bernama

East-West Highway upgrades a priority under Budget 2026, says Nanta
KUALA KANGSAR: The East-West Highway, particularly the Gerik-Jeli stretch, is among the key priorities for the Works Ministry under Budget 2026, minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi says. He said the ministry has submitted a funding request to upgrade several sections of the route, citing urgent safety needs. However, the exact allocation will depend on the government's final decision. "It's not a special allocation, we've included it under regular funding requests for the highway," he told reporters after the official opening of the Sultan Muzzaffar Shah Bridge at Dataran Manong here on Thursday (Aug 14). Earlier, Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah officially inaugurated the bridge. Also present were Raja Permaisuri of Perak Tuanku Zara Salim, Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad, his wife Datin Seri Aezer Zubin, as well as Public Works director-general Datuk Roslan Ismail. As part of ongoing safety measures along the JRTB, Nanta said 385 solar-powered streetlights have been installed in high-risk areas and dangerous bends, commonly known as 'black spots'. "These are not for the entire highway, only for critical sections identified through our assessments," he said, adding that damaged guardrails, signboards and road markings are also being repaired or replaced. Nanta also announced the launch of the MYJalan mobile app, which aims to enable the public to report road damage and submit feedback directly to the ministry. "Perak has been chosen as the first state to launch the MYJalan initiative, reflecting our commitment to public feedback and road safety," he said. He added that the highway's condition had been a concern since the start of his tenure and described the highway as not only a vital interstate link but also a key part of the country's road development history. Data collected via the app, he noted, has already supported federal funding requests, leading to repair and upgrade works along the East-West Highway and other federal roads in Perak. - Bernama
