The road then becomes the backbone for serving Seri Menanti at Terachi N29 and Tanjung Ipoh N24, and Ampang Tinggi.

At the end of the Federal Route 51, the road meets Karak-Tampin Highway FT 9 at the downtown of Kuala Pilah.

At most sections, the Federal Route 51 was built under the JKR R5 road standard, with a speed limit of 90 km/h.

The section of the Federal Route 51 from Paroi to Ulu Bendul known as Jalan Bukit Putus is notorious for its narrow and dangerous sharp corners.

Construction of the new 6.7 km bypass including Bukit Putus Viaduct replacing the old narrow road started on 2006 and was completed in early 2009.
