Johor Bahru West Coast Parkway or the stretch of roads that includes Jalan Skudai, Jalan Abu Bakar, Jalan Ibrahim and Persiaran Tun Sri Lanang (Johor state route JKR|J1) is located in Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia.
History
Johor Bahru West Coast Parkway used to be a part of Federal Route JKR|1 before Skudai Highway was built. However, the importance of Johor Bahru as a trade centre for Singaporeans after the separation of Singapore from Malaysia in 1965 became the major factor of the construction of Skudai Highway. Skudai Highway bypasses the portion which becomes the present-day Johor Bahru West Coast Parkway. As a result, the 2-lane Jalan Skudai was recommissioned as Johor State Route JKR|J1. The 2-lane Jalan Skudai became the main coastal road in Johor Bahru as the main alternative to Skudai Highway.
In 1996, the construction of Persiaran Tun Sri Lanang as a separate carriageway for JB West Coast Parkway was completed, as a part of the Johor Bahru Waterfront project. However, the project was abandoned due to very high cost, leaving Persiaran Tun Sri Lanang and Lot 1 as the only 2 structures completed for the project.
In 2002, the government of Johor proposed the Danga Bay project, not only to revive the former Lagun Puteri and Pantai Lido, but also to boost the economy of west Johor Bahru. The Danga Bay project included a 4-km upgrade of the 2-lane Jalan Skudai as a dual carriageway. The road upgrade was completed by the end of 2003.
