New highway to be built

For details, visit the KIDEX exhibition at Tropicana City Mall or log on to www.kidexskyway.com

WHEN the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex) is ready, it will reduce travelling time between Damansara and Kinrara by about 25%.

The traffic volume will also be reduced by 50% in both directions from Puchong to Petaling Jaya.

It is estimated that traffic volume will reduce by about 30% from Taman Tun Dr Ismail, the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) and Bandar Utama to Petaling Jaya.

The highway is estimated to cost RM2.42bil and it will be a 90% elevated highway. Read more
