Hi Kampung, I believe that is actually station 2. The KLJ extension station 1 is at the opposite end of the depot I believe, near where it separates from the existing depot ramp.

Also, that should be the deck for the tracks. Not sure if there will be a cross-over there or a cripple siding (track for spare trains). The platform should be of island type further down where the tracks will flank the platform. In the early segment launching pictures you can see the rebar stubs for where the station will be constructed between the elevated viaduct.

mrtfreak from skyscrapercity here by the way.

Thanks for the photos. Progress is looking good.

That one would be messy for sure. Can imagine Ampang Line progress is slower as seen from the photos here.

Shall see whether I can drop by in mid-December and take a look around the areas as well. Have they started launching the segments that will join the existing line to the new extension track near Lembah Subang depot for Kelana Jaya Line? Its at the portion near the NKVE.

MRT would take longer anyway since that project started later than the LEP. These extensions have been on the drawing boards for at least 6 years, so its not surprising that these have seemingly more progress considering that they have been discussing it back and forth for ages. So all the necessary clearances would have been approved as compared to the MRT which is relatively newer.

No worries.

Thanks for the info. The last photo posted of that area shows the truss launcher still at the same place as when I went around the area. That was around July?

Friend who took those pictures posted this on FB later:Just witnessed a big concrete block part of the lrt construction freefall as it was hoisted up by some cables.

The contractor somehow dropped the segment box while hoisting it up. Friend began taking photos of damaged equipment after.

Second known accident already... The first was that engineer being crushed to death. Now segment box drops during lifting... At least it seems like no one was injured.

Selangor border? They are cured somewhere else? Or the line will reach the Selangor border?

Oh... Did not realise as I always equated KL with Selangor, even while staying there, haha. Didn't know the Wilayah Persekutuan border extended so far.

I always thought it was end 2014/early 2015 once the construction stage had begun.

To be honest, the date has changed several times though. When first announced, it was toyed around with, then 2012, then 2014.

Yeah, 2015 is a safe bet. Looking at how things are going, I might say even late 2014 for Kelana Jaya Line as that one has seemingly fewer problems than the Ampang Line extension. Am looking forward to avoiding having to go to KL Sentral to make a change just to get to Subang Jaya from PJ by train.

That's an awesome shot unig. Looking at how things are going, I think that the Kelana Jaya line extension should meet the 2014 target. The Ampang line side though, is unfortunately held up by land issues. What to do? At least Subang Jaya and USJ residents won't need to put up with so much dust and inconvenience as the Puchong residents nor the traffic issues once the line becomes operational. Better to hope that all goes according to plan now and no slacking off since the deadline has been revised to 2015.

Yeah, it would be good to see the progress some time down too. Thanks.

Wow, that looks really quick that the pillars went up. I wonder how that super stretch section across the Federal Highway will look like. It should be massive.

Technically, your estimation of 10 years is not far off. The project was talked about in 2006 and will finally be realised in 2015. So that's a good 9 to 10 years. Congratulations on predicting accurately!

Nice picture there anuarnor. Thanks for sharing.

Like others have mentioned, not a political thread. I think we're all more interested in monitoring updates here rather than figuring out when it will be done. Even if it is 30 years down the road, it will be done. And this progress is already better than 2006 to 2011 where there wasn't much. I take it you don't understand sarcasm and have an agenda, that's fine. But so do we, so shall we move along thank you.

PS: I know replying you will just give you reason to spout more propaganda, so farewell after this.

I thought that station 1 is where the track splits, near the Bukit OUG Condominium?

Hmm, ok. I'm not so familiar with where the stations should be or are for the Ampang extension as I am with the Kelana Jaya extension.

Thanks for the photos. Good to see some progress on this line finally. Kelana Jaya extension has been stealing the limelight so far.
