Jalan Lama Bukit Putus,[1] formerly Federal Route 361 is a previous federal road in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia passing through Bukit Putus in the Titiwangsa Mountains.[2] This 7 km (4.3 mi) road was an old stretch of Federal Route 51 is notorious for its narrow and dangerous sharp corners, prior to its realignment in 2009.[3]

Route background

[edit]

The road was constructed by British in the 1920s. In July 2014, the old stretch of the Bukit Putus (Federal Route 51) was redesignated as Federal Route 361.

Even though FT51 is safer, many people (especially cyclists) often use this road instead. This road is also home to a few attractions such as Starfresh Agro Park and a scout camp. There are hiking trails at Bukit Putus that can be accessed from this road, notably to Mount Angsi, the seventh highest point in Negeri Sembilan. Many people also consider using this road as an alternative whenever FT51 is experiencing congestion.

Description

[edit]

The Kilometre Zero is located at the junctions of FT51 at Bukit Putus (West). This stretch of the road was infamous for its winding section, sharp corners, and occasional landslides as it is located at the edge of a cliff known as Bukit Putus. Because of this, a less winding 6.7km piece of road on the Jalan Kuala Pilah was built to bypass the dangerous Bukit Putus section, which would lead to the construction of the fourth highest bridge in Malaysia, Bukit Putus Viaduct.

Junction lists

The entire route is located in Negeri Sembilan.
