Central Spine Road, Federal Routes 8 and 9 is a new highway under construction in the central of Peninsula Malaysia, Malaysia. It is a toll-free highway. The 325 km (201 miles) highway replaces the former 2-lane 8 Gua Musang Highway and 9 Karak-Tampin highway. The construction first starts on Package 3 which is from Merapoh to Kampung Relong. The reason why it starts there first because the 8 Gua Musang Highway passes through Chegar Perah which is has lots of corners and animals passing through. The highway had a few eco-viaducts built there.
