Johor Bahru East Coast Parkway (35)

Johor Bahru East Coast Parkway


Johor Bahru East Coast Parkway is a highway serving the eastern suburbs of Johor Bahru. It is also called the Johor Bahru-Pasir Gudang Highway as well as Federal Route 35. Spanning approximately 13.4 kilometers (8.3 miles), it connects Kampung Bakar Batu near the city center to the industrial town of Pasir Gudang. Along its route, the highway passes through key areas such as Bandar Baru Permas Jaya and Taman Rinting.¹

A notable feature of this highway is the Permas Jaya Bridge, which crosses the confluence of Sungai Tebrau and Sungai Plentong. This bridge provides an alternative route to Pasir Gudang, complementing the existing Pasir Gudang Highway. The highway was developed as part of the Iskandar Malaysia project, aiming to enhance connectivity within the region.²

Construction of the highway commenced in 2008. By 2012, the section up to Taman Megah Ria was partially completed, and the remaining stretch from Taman Megah Ria to Pasir Gudang Highway was opened to the public in 2013. In 2014, the highway was officially gazetted as Federal Route 35.^{1, 2}

Built according to the JKR R5 road standard, the highway permits a maximum speed limit of up to 90 km/h. However, it lacks dedicated motorcycle lanes.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
