Those who use the Sprint Highway daily, take note. DBKL has announced the full closure of the slip road from Semantan to KL. This is to facilitate the second phase construction of an elevated road in the area. The closure will be from tomorrow (November 25) till December 31, 2023.
As such, motorists from Bukit Damansara/Jalan Beringin passing by Persimpangan Setiabudi have to take Jalan Johar to head to KL city. Note that Jalan Johar will become a two-way road for this. For a clearer picture, look at the map below.
It’s a very congested area at the best of times, so this development won’t help with traffic – here’s hoping that works will be completed on schedule. Road users are advised to follow the signs and traffic police. It will take some time to get used to it for sure, so drive safe and be alert when in the area.

SPRINT highway should stop charging toll for the period until construction ends. The traffic jams caused near Pavilion Damansara is horrendous. Collect the toll loss from Pavilion instead.
The NEW elevated Damansra Height (PJ-KL) bypass is wavy like riding a boat. Proven the contractor’s failure despite project for premium address
Pavilion Damansara project has been causing MASSIVE inconvenience to road users for years.
Why are we paying (not just money/toll but time) for the incompetence of the developer?
Hi
I wanted to comment on this: “It’s a very congested area at the best of times, so this development won’t help with traffic – here’s hoping that works will be completed on schedule.” As someone who has been living in this neighborhood for 20 years, this area was never badly congested until this development started. Since the works on this development have started, our lives have become a nightmare. It sometimes takes us 30-45minutes to get out of our neighborhood as opposed to just 3-5minutes before. These works are reducing the value of our properties, they are making tenants move out of rented properties in Bukit Damansara. This development is a disgrace and all these roads are being built in favor of the drivers coming from PJ and other areas and none of the roads are making the lives of the Bukit Damansara residents easier. We used to have 5-6 ways to exit our neighborhood, of which 4 to get to KL, we are now down to 1 and it’s like going through HELL. We cannot even get to the Jelutong side of Bukit Damansara now and everything has become complicated for the residents of Bukit Damansara. How can DBKL let this happen?
lived here since the 80s. every single time they do “development” around here, things regressed for us.
Corruption and couldn’t care less attitude result from substandard education system. The developer want you to move into their condos
completely agree. As someone who lives in Bukit Damansara, this project has made my daily commute hell. Why are we paying for a private project’s lack of planning, while they profit? Makes no sense. Please open up the roads like last time.
There goes the neighbourhood…
the mall should not have been allowed to open until they clear this mess up.
