KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 22 — The suspension of rail services since January was due to structural damage of the viaduct and cracked pier near the Bandaraya LRT station, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said today.
He said the ministry’s investigation showed that the damages to three viaduct structures and the pier were caused by “ground movement” believed to be from works from the construction of a 44-storey hotel, next to the station.
“As stated by the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) on January 27, the construction works started without any consultation with APAD under the Railway Regulations (Railway Protection Zone) 1998.
“The Infrastructure Department is now in the process of appointing a contractor to carry out repair works that will begin in early March and are expected to take time up to seven months,” Loke told a press conference here at the Parliament building.
