History edit
The route was first constructed in 1887 as part of the Kuala Kubu Bharu-The Gap-Kuala Lipis road, where a southern extension was built from Teranum to Bentong in 1915, which became the first section of what was later part of the original Federal Route 8 to be built.[2] The Bentong-Teranum-Raub section was then bypassed by straighter super two highway running through FELDA Lurah Bilut,[3] causing this old, winding section to be re-gazetted as the Federal Route 218.[4]
Features edit
At most sections, the Federal Route 218 was built under the JKR R5 road standard, allowing maximum speed limit of up to 90 km/h.
