In 1971, the old Temerloh Bridge spanning across the Pahang River collapsed due to a massive flood in Temerloh.
As a result, the Public Works Department (JKR) constructed a 575-m replacement bridge known as the Sultan Ahmad Shah Bridge FT2 beside the old bridge.
The Sultan Ahmad Shah Bridge is much higher than the old bridge, forming the first grade-separated interchange in Pahang that links to the Federal Route 10.
The new bridge also links to a new road that bypasses Temerloh and Mentakab townships, causing the former Temerloh-Mentakab section to be re-gazetted as the Federal Route 87.
The construction of the Sultan Ahmad Shah Bridge was completed in 1974.
