History
In October 1995, the overhead bridge across the railway near Kampung Baru Bidor Stesen collapsed after a goods train jumped rail and crashed onto the beam supporting the bridge. As a temporary measure, a one-lane Bailey Bridge was erected while a permanent concrete bridge was constructed from 1997. The new bridge is opened to traffic in March 1998 and the Bailey Bridge is dismantled. In the early days, this route only had 2 lanes. However, in 1995, the stretch between the traffic lights junction at Teluk Intan town center to the traffic lights junction to Federal Route is upgraded into a 4-lane, dual carriageway road. Later, in 2004, the stretch between Federal Route to Selabak Estate is also upgraded into a 4-lane, dual carriageway. Also upgraded into a 4-lane, dual carriageway is the stretch between the traffic lights junction to Jalan Kampung Banjar and the traffic lights junction at Federal Route .
