Johor Bahru-Kota Tinggi Highway (Malay: Lebuhraya Johor Bahru-Kota Tinggi), Federal route JKR|3 AHN-AH|18, also known as Tebrau Highway (Jalan Tebrau) and Jalan Kota Tinggi is a highway that encompasses federal route JKR|3 in Johor Bahru. The highway stretches from its southern end at Jalan Wong Ah Fook and Jalan Tun Abdul Razak in the metropolitan area of Johor Bahru to the northern end at the underpass flyover with North-South Expressway Southern Route around Pandan. The stretch of road after this continues as Jalan Pandan and Jalan Kota Tinggi respectively, beyond Pandan.

History

The highway was initially a trunk road. It was later widened into six lane dual-carriageway, and upgraded during the 1980s. The section between Johor Jaya to Ulu Tiram were upgraded in 1995.

Current developments

In 2003, the government has doled in more money to construct a new flyover at Johor Jaya complex Interchange. At the complex interchange, the road (Jalan Pandan) leads on uphill some 50-100 metres away northwards from the interchange. The construction of the interchange has elevated the highway directly from the point north of the interchange.

From 2006 onwards, travellers travelling northward would have to turn into a road which connects carrefour before joining the highway after the interchange. Travellers coming from Jalan Masai Bahru would have to take the flyover which connects with Tebrau Highway, and travelling northbound without diverting into the road connecting carrefour would ultimately lead to vehicles turning off into JKR|J10 Jalan Masai Lama.

Features

Features of the highway include BLSS LED traffic lights from control centre, variable message system and traffic CCTV.
