Roads – Access Links
Good surface (road and rail) connections are a must for all advanced ports and Westport is no exception. Accessibility to Westport received a boost with the opening of the Shah Alam Expressway link which connects the port to the nation’s major growth areas.
The 34.5 km expressway is connected to the national grid which links the entire length and breadth of Peninsular Malaysia.
The four-lane Shah Alam Expressway stretches from Seri Petaling on the southern outskirts of Kuala Lumpur to the West Highway in Klang. The new expressway has ample parking bays for long-haul trailers and hauliers. Trucks using the expressway can have access to the South Klang Valley corridor and at least three major road transport systems, namey the North-South Expressway, the Puchong-Damansara Expressway and the North-South Expressway Central Link.
Westport is also directly linked to the national grid via other major road networks, the South Klang Valley Expressway and West Coast Expressway. It is also expected to benefit from the proposed Johor Bahru-Sepang Coastal Highway which is being planned as an alternative to the North-South Expressway.
The new link from Northport to Westport, which reduces travel time for hauliers from 45 minutes to 15 minutes to reach Westport, is another effort towards increasing transshipment traffic between the two terminals.
Added to this are long and short term storage facilities readily available for port users. Features include:
