Federal Route 218, or Jalan Lama Bentong-Raub, is a federal road in Pahang, Malaysia.^[1] The roads connects Teranum in the north to Bentong in the south. This stretch used to be a part of Federal Route 8. The Kilometre Zero (KM0) of the Federal Route 218 starts at Bentong.

History

A section from Teranum to Bentong was constructed in 1915.^[2] The original FT8 section from Raub to Bentong via Teranum was bypassed by a more straight super two highway in 1958 in conjunction of the opening of FELDA Lurah Bilut,^[3] causing the old, winding section to be re-gazetted as the Federal Route 218.^[4]

Features

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.
