THE opening of a flyover connecting Jalan Langgak Golf and the Kg Pandan roundabout is expected to overcome traffic congestion, especially during peak hours at Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur.

Federal Territories Minister Shahidan Kassim said work on the flyover project, which is a 2.8km-long elevated course with nine exit and entry locations, started on July 10, 2017 and was fully completed on May 11 at a cost of RM492.5 million.

He said the ministry and the Kuala Lumpur City Hall will be committed to upgrading the traffic system, public transport and the development of traffic facilities for the convenience of city dwellers.

“This commitment is in line with the objective of the Keluarga Malaysia government to make Kuala Lumpur one of the best cities in terms of traffic network, as well as able to meet the needs and aspirations of the people,” he said in his speech at the opening of the flyover.

Shahidan said the flyover is also linked to the Maju Expressway and this will benefit road users entering Kuala Lumpur from Putrajaya and Puchong.

It also provides access to those wanting to exit Jalan Bukit Bintang, he said, adding that the project was also planned to be connected to the Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway. – Bernama, May 14, 2022.
