Pedas RSA Build Reaches 43% Ahead Of Rescheduled Q1 2026 Opening

Following up on our earlier coverage, the Pedas RSA at KM 241 (Southbound) on the PLUS North-South Expressway continues to take shape as Malaysia’s first privately-operated Rest Service Area (RSA).

Developed by Levn Capital with the approval of the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM), the project is set to deliver a new and elevated experience for southbound travellers.

Located just 84 KM south of Kuala Lumpur, the RSA enjoys dual access from both the expressway and nearby local roads. It is designed to serve highway users as well as the surrounding Kampung Pedas Hilir community, including students from nearby institutions.

As of the end of March 2025, construction progress remains strong at 43% completion. Approximately 70% of the 1st-floor slab casting for the main complex has been completed, marking a major structural milestone.

In parallel, all three drive-thru satellite buildings have successfully completed concrete roof casting. These outlets will provide quick, convenient services to meet the needs of today’s on-the-go travellers.

To recap, the Pedas RSA will feature Malaysia’s first Electric Vehicle Charging Corridor (EVCC), offering 350 kW DC fast chargers developed in partnership with Gentari and Tesla. This positions the RSA as a key node in the nation’s emerging EV infrastructure.

The site will also house Petronas and Shell refuelling stations, creating a comprehensive hub for both electric and traditional vehicles.

With sustainability as a core design principle, the Pedas RSA is being developed as a Platinum-rated Green Building. It will include energy-efficient lighting, rainwater harvesting, and naturally lit communal areas. Travellers can also look forward to well-known F&B brands such as McDonald’s, Coffee Bean, and Tealive.

Strategically positioned along the high-traffic corridor between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, the RSA is well-placed to serve commuters, long-distance travellers, and the local community.

According to Levn Capital, the project originally slated for a Q4 2025 opening, has been rescheduled to Q1 2026 to ensure the highest standards of delivery. We will continue to provide updates as the project progresses, as this facility is set to become a vital connection point for the growing needs of long-distance highway commuters.
