The progress of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project for Section B from Dungun, Terengganu to Mentakab, Pahang has advanced beyond its target after reaching 7.03 percent in December last year compared to its original target of 5.11 percent.

Pahang Works, Transportation and Health Committee chairman Norolazali Sulaiman said the progress was underpinned by rapid construction works at 94 priority locations, with 58 of them in Pahang while the remaining in Terengganu.
