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..

http://www.ekve.com.my/information.html

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?

Update: EKVE starts the ground work of EKVE by 1st Sep 2015.

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..

I think buses should be available in future once the MRT is up.. But how many people really will use it will be very much depending on the how many people working around the MRT stations in KL...

If not may need to build an elevated highway, due to the lack os space..

I think the current phase does not include the stretch from ukay perdana to UIAM, means the Klang Gates Dam is untouched.

Furthermore, they also have relocated the ampang interchange to be 1 km away from Ampang water catchment area, which is used to be only 300m away..

Welcome, sharing is caring..

If following the google map alighment, Ukay Perdana interchange should be somewhere near to Sierra Ukay..

https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zg...5vZq-hR64&msa=0

Why need to reconsider? Worry of incoming traffic?

Oic... Well, I think Klang valley currently is undergoing development, there are more and more place shall be developed... Sometime that's the price we need to pay if we want to ensure the sustainability of the development...

By the way, I think most of the traffic shall go out from the Ampang interchange, Ukay Perdana interchange should have relatively less vehicle I presume...

Yeah, after the DEIA evaluation and financial constraint, I think the stretch from UK Perdana to UIA that will pass through the Klang Gate has been scrapped..

So those who wants to go to Karak Highway don't think will use this highway, it is more serving for residents in Southeaster of KV, such as kajang, Sungai long, Semenyih, Bandar Mahkota Cheras etc as an alternative route to commute to KL...

As stated by the Chairman of AZRB, they already obtained the approval from state gomen of Selangor for the conversion of forest reserve into a federal road researve along with the EKVE proposal. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

"Our final main achievement for the year under review was obtaining the approval from the State Government of Selangor (“State Government”) for the excision and conversion of forest reserve into a federal road reserve along our proposed East Klang Valley Expressway (“EKVE”) alignment (“the Approval”). The Approval was the last condition precedent set out in our Concession Agreement (“CA”) for the EKVE project with the Government. Having obtained the Approval in December 2014, the Federal Government duly notifi ed EKVE that the Effective Date (“ED”) was set on
12 February 2015. With the ED, EKVE has fulfi lled all condition precedents set out in its CA of 13 February 2013 and is now able to commence works in developing and building the EKVE. With the commencement of works, the Group is on track to complete EKVE by 2019 thereby giving the Group a stable and recurring income stream from its newly formed Infrastructure Division of which EKVE will be part of.

The total estimated construction costs of EKVE project is approximately RM1,551,130,000."

Actually already have proposal on that... But so far no progress...

"（雪蘭莪‧萬宜3日訊）為解決前往士毛月區墳墓的交通阻塞問題，雪州政府將計劃聯同州公共工程局、士毛月區私人墳墓公司以及加影外環大道（SILK）公司興建一條新路，直接從SILK大道直通士毛月墳場區，預計耗資2000萬令吉。
掌管州地方政府、研究及考察事務的行政議員劉天球透露，州行政議會會議已通過在士毛月、雪邦及瓜雪徵用400英畝的土地作為墓地用途，以紓緩雪州境內墓地不足的問題。
“位於蒲種14英哩的首座火化場已竣工，4月1日正式啟用，因此州政府原則上是接納市民的建議，在以上400英畝的墳地規劃中興建一座火化場。＂他於週日出席加影市議會與居民對話會後受訪時說，州政府批准了以上墳墓計劃後，卻遭士毛月區居民強烈反對，主要是因為當地已有多座私人墳地，再增加將導致當地交通阻塞問題進一步惡化。
他指出，雪州大臣丹斯里卡立認同居民的顧慮，因此計劃興建上述直通士毛月墳地的新路，避開使用靠近民宅的道路，紓緩當地的交通問題。
批准福建公會建殯儀館
“初步估計興建新路的成本約2000萬令吉，州政府也承諾支付部份興建費用，目前已展開了初步的接洽。＂他指出，作為墓地用途的400英畝，當中100英畝將由靜安林墓園，其餘300英畝則用於穆斯林及非穆斯林公共綜合性墓園，加影市議會將儘快規劃墓園設計，並把火化場建議納入其中。
另一方面，劉天球透露，雪州政府已於3個月前批准了福建公會興建殯儀館一事，惟地點不可過於靠近民宅。
加影市議會主席拿督哈山也指出，福建會館將以廣東義山殯儀館收費為準。"


Maybe news already few years, link can't be opened anymore..

http://www.guangming.com.my/node/160486?tid=7

opsss.. sorry..

Basically the article say there is planning to build a direct way from SILK to the cemetery area, with a cost of about RM 20 million...

News is in 2013, now still no sign of it...

http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Community/2...yih-cemeteries/

THE controversial East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE) project has been approved by the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) albeit with several conditions in place.

http://www.thestar.com.my/Metro/Community/...-and-social-im/

EKVE confirmed starting the construction work this month (September).

First phase of work shall start from UK Perdana Junction..

http://www.chinapress.com.my/node/651192

“As part of the KL Outer Ring Road (KLORR), EKVE will fill in the missing link for the system,” he said, adding that it would also help to solve traffic congestion on the MRR2 highway.

Presumably should go out at Ampang exit and heading to KL city center from Ampang waterfront I suppose..

Yeap, EKVE shall serve as an alternative for Semenyih/Bangi/Kajang resident to travel to KL city center..

The effectiveness we only able to know after completion. The stretch from Ampang waterfront till Akleh contains a lot of traffic lights, maybe problem in future..

Road directly connecting to EKVE should be hard, if can have a connection to SILK is already sufficient enough..

EKVE progress seems good.. Ukay Perdana side already started...

http://ekveup.blogspot.my/

Expected time of completion is Sep 2019, let's see if can be completed on time..
