Kalau kita melalui Jalan Linkaran Tengah Seremban atau Seremban Middle Ring Road (MRRS) berhampiran Taman Bukit Chedang, kita pasti akan tertanya-tanya kenapa projek ini seolah-olah terbengkalai apabila dilihat terdapat satu jambatan tergantung dari Taman Bukit Chedang menghala ke Kg Baru Rasah. Situasi ini berlaku sejak tahun 2010 lagi. Apakah punca masalah ini berlaku? Adakah ianya disebabkan oleh masalah kewangan kontraktor atau sumber kewangan kerajaan? Ataukah mungkin masalah pampasan kepada penduduk di Kg Baru Rasah yang rata-ratanya orang Cina? Atau mungkin ada sebab lain? Di Rembau, penduduk kampung yang terlibat dengan Projek Landasan Keretapi Berkembar , ada yang menerima pampasan cuma RM 1.20 sekaki atau RM 52,272 seekar, sedangkan tidak jauh dari situ untuk Projek Hospital Rembau, kerajaan Negeri Sembilan melalui PKNNS menawarkan tanah pada harga RM 22.00 sekaki atau RM 958,320.00. Harap kita sebagai rakyat, khususnya pengguna jalanraya di Jalan Linkaran Tengah Seremban akan mendapat jawapan dari kerajaan Barisan Nasional dalam masa terdekat. Construction on Chedang Interchange has come to a halt Wednesday October 20, 2010 The Chedang, KGV and Hospital Tuanku Jaafar (HTJ) interchanges and radial roads will only be completed under the 10th Malaysia Plan. While work is being done on the KGV and HTJ interchanges and the new RM26mil Taman Permai-Jalan Sungei Ujong link, the Chedang interchange linking the Rasah New Village has come to a halt. Motorists heading to the Rasah New Village and the town centre from Seremban 2, Bukit Chedang, Senawang and Kuala Pilah are now forced to drive to the Bukit Chedang roundabout and make two U-turns before reaching their destinations. The bridge to link Seremban 2 to Rasah New Village is also not completed because there is not enough allocation. If the bridge is completed together with other projects, traffic dispersal in Seremban will improve. Bukit Kepayang assemblyman Cha Kee Chin said motorists wanted the Seremban 2-Rasah New Village link completed instead of concentrating on the Taman Permai-Jalan Sungai Ujong link. He said because of this there was a bottleneck at the Bukit Chedang roundabout and at both the U-turns during rush hours. He added that the matter was brought up at the last Negri Sembilan state assembly sitting. “The Taman Permai-Sungei Ujong link can wait and the allocation could be used to complete the Seremban 2-Rasah New Village stretch because it will help ease traffic flow on the highway,’’ said Cha. However, it is learnt that the Seremban 2-Rasah New Village stretch will cost much more than the Jalan Permai-Sungei Ujong link as it involves widening the Kepayang river and land reclamation at the new village. “So until that is sorted out, projects that have been started will continue while motorists will have to bear with the inconvenience,’’ added Cha. The RM500mil MRRS, which is a 28.8km two-lane dual carriageway, is toll-free with 16 interchanges. http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2010/10/20/central/7236148&sec=central
