North Klang Straits Bypass, Federal Route 20, AH 141, is the main highway bypass to Port Klang in Klang, Selangor, Malaysia.[1] Federal Route 20 became the backbone of the road system linking Sungai Rasau to Port Klang before being surpassed by the New North Klang Straits Bypass 30. Many cargo trucks travel along the highway daily.
The Kilometre Zero of the Federal Route 20 starts at Northport Interchange near Port Klang.
The plan to build the bypass to Port Klang began in the late 1970s. Construction began in 1983 and completed on 1 January 1985. Today this highway are maintained by the Lebuhraya Shapadu Sdn Bhd (a member of Shapadu Corporation Sdn Bhd) and Malaysian Public Works Department (JKR). By the 1990s to 2000s, the highway was bogged down with severe congestion, and the present New North Klang Straits Bypass was built to replace it. On 2009, the Port Klang toll plaza was closed and the parts of Jalan Kapar – Port Klang sections became a toll free highway.
In 2014, the expressway was taken over to LGB Group and its name was changed to Grand Sepadu Sdn Bhd.
At most sections, the Federal Route 20 was built under the JKR R5 road standard, with a speed limit of 90 km/h.
There are no alternate routes or sections with motorcycle lanes.
The bypass is not considered safe because of many accidents involving heavy vehicles along this road, especially the area around a school. On 18 May 2005, on Teacher's Day, a seven-year-old girl from Sekolah Rendah Agama Rantau Panjang religious school Nur Salina Saparedi was knocked by a lorry while she was crossing this road.
