Following the approval from the central goverment to AZRB to commence the construction of EKVE starting from Feb 2015, a lot of updated info has been uploaded in the EKVE website, which including the realignment plan, DEIA report etc..

As being reported, the benefits of the highway includes:

- An effective traffic dispersal network for eastern Kuala Lumpur through direct connectivity to other existing highways e.g. SILK, LEKAS, AKLEH, DUKE and MRR2;

- Traffic dispersal scheme to ease traffic congestion along the existing MRR2, especially along the stretch between Ukay Perdana and Ampang;

- Catalyst for new developments particularly along Semenyih, Kajang, Cheras and Ampang. Furthermore, through to other highways, it will help to spur development along their corridors due to the connectivity to Kuala Lumpur City Centre and other strategic economic centres;

- Intra-urban highway providing convenient linkages for travel within the eastern and south-eastern end of Kuala Lumpur and between those areas and Kuala Lumpur City Centre;

- Alternative route for users of North-South Highway from Kuala Lumpur to Seremban (through LEKAS);

Wondering this highway will really boost the property development in the Southeastern of Klang Valley, such as Bandar Mahkota Cheras, Bandar Sungai Long, Kajang, Semenyih..

Any thought on this?

As we discussed before, the material required by MB actually already available, it just depends on his decision now..

Cheras roads already too congested, alternative route is an urgent need now..
