[edit] History

The purpose to built the second bridge and a highway bypass in Muar began in 1998 because of massive jams which occurred on Jambatan Sultan Ismail and the main town was a factor to built it.

The Public Works Department of Malaysia (JKR) and the main contractor Ranhill Bersekutu Sdn Bhd Co began construction of the bypass in 2002. The highway was completed in 2005.
