History

Originally, the road was only paved from Muar to Lenga and another section near Labis; however, the road was fully paved in the 1970s as a result of the opening of many FELDA settlements along Labis–Lenga stretch.

Due to the narrow T-junctions in Lenga that only allowed small vehicles passing, the Lenga bypass is built for heavier vehicles.
