KUALA LANGAT, March 4 — The construction of the flyover meant to ease the traffic woes in Bandar Saujana Putra is expected to complete in September next year, said the Selangor state conglomerate Permodalan Negeri Selangor Berhad (PNSB).
Its assistant planning manager Yousman Yaakub said the eight-lane flyover, with a distance of 800 metres, would connect the North-South Expressway Central Link (Elite) and the South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) without passing through the Bandar Saujana Putra roundabout.
“The elevated exit and the Bandar Saujana Putra Toll Plaza, which connects the Elite highway with the township, was officially opened on March 5, 2008.
“However, a flyover connecting Elite and SKVE had not been constructed, causing traffic congestion for the residents in the area and highway users,” said Youman during an inspection visit at the bridge construction site, here yesterday.
Yousman said the flyover would benefit 65,000 residents and highway users, especially during peak hours.
“The Bandar Saujana Putra roundabout would be replaced with a cross-junction with traffic light system. We are confident that the completion of this project would solve the traffic issues,” he said.
On April 12, 2019, Selangor Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari had announced a RM60 million allocation for the construction of the flyover by LBS Bina Group Berhad in collaboration with PNSB.
