Kuchai Link 2 direct overpass to open Nov 12: Besraya

The Kuchai Link 2 direct overpass is expected to open to the public on November 12, according to Bernama. The two-lane overpass connects Jalan Kuchai Lama to the Sungai Besi Highway over the existing Maju Expressway (MEX) and the Kuchai Interchange, and will help in decongesting the surrounding roads and reduce commute times by 10 to 15 minutes, said project manager Nur Amani Zakaria.

“It shall serve to overcome the traffic congestion encountered during peak hours at the Kuchai Interchange and the Jalan Kuchai Lama – Jalan Kuchai Maju intersection,” Nur Amani said. The viaduct begins at Jalan Kuchai Lama near the UPA factory and terminates at Besraya Highway, she said.

The viaduct will also provide uninterrupted traffic flow from Besraya to the New Pantai Expressway (NPE) via Kuchai Link and from NPE via Jalan Kuchai Lama to Besraya, and the Kuchai Interchange would be reconfigured from the current four-phase traffic light intersection to a free-flow intersection, she added.

“The project will not only benefit the locals, but also motorists who travel from Petaling Jaya, Bangsar, Subang and those travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Seremban,” said Nur Amani. The 1.17 km overpass incurred costs of around RM60 million, borne by Besraya, and took three years to complete, the project manager said.

    MORE AND MORE CARS ARE USING THE ALREADY CONGESTED JALAN KUCHAI LAMA NOW.

    WE WILL SEE MORE AND MORE ACCIDENTS AND TRAFFIC JAMS NOW DUE TO :-

    1. MORE STUPID IDIOTIC DRIVERS SWITCHING LANES LAST
    MINUTES TO GET INTO THE NEW HIGHWAY
    2. SOME CARS TRAVELLING VERY FAST TRYING TO AVOID THOSE
    SLOW LOUSY ROAD BLOCKAGE DRIVERS WITHOUT APPLYING
    BRAKES OR STOPPING
    3. THE SRI SENTOSA SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL FACE WITH MORE
    ROAD DANGERS DUE TO MORE CARS PASSING THRU HENCE
    BECOMING MORE ACCIDENT AND DANGER PRONE AREA
    4. MORE MOTORCYCLES ACCIDENTS

    SOLUTION:-
    1. REMOVE AND RELOCATE THE AJI NO MOTO FACTORY ,
    VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL, PGA , KFC
    2. MUST STOP NEW CONDO DEVELOPMENT IN JALAN KUCHAI LAMA
    JUST OUTSIDE FACING THE HIGHWAY
    3. BANNED BIG TOURIST BUSES BRINGING TOURIST TO THOSE
    EXOTIC RESTAURANTS IN JALAN KUCHAI LAMA CREATING
    PARKING PROBLEMS AND ROAD BLOCKAGES HENCE TRAFFIC JAM
    ONCE AGAIN

    VERDICT:-
    THE NEW HIGHWAY DIVERSION BY BESRAYA SERVE NOTHING BUT ONLY INCREASES CAR VOLUMES AND ACCIDENTS ,TRAFFIC CONGESTION , MORE AIR POLLUTION FOR THE FOLKS LIVING IN JALAN KUCHAI LAMA VICINITY. — LOOKS BAD..
