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.
