'As a result, the alignment was found no longer financially viable and the Federal Government later decided that the EKVE ends at Ukay Perdana only and termed it as Phase 1'.
Meaning to say, it is very subjective. They may come up with phase 2, then 3......But believe that won't happen until the next decade. Haha.
so funny. jam crazy more @ mrr2
However, after it was presented to the state government in March 2008, AZRB was asked to review it especially concerning stretches between Ukay Perdana to UIA (last 10 km) due to the sensitivity of its closeness to Klang Gate Dam and Taman Melawati residential area.
Site visits and meetings by technical committee members had resulted in the emergence of several options based on various reasons and constraints. (Please refer to Table 2 for the comparison of route from Option 1 to Option 8C)
Later in April 2010, state authority had agreed with the proposed alignment of EKVE with a condition that AZRB has to realign the Option 8 alignment by avoiding the quartz ridge zone and the Klang Gate Dam.
Finally in November 2010, the state government had agreed to Option 8C (modified Option 8 - using tunnel underneath quartz ridge and circumvent Klang Gate Dam). Unfortunately the option had incurred an additional construction cost due to the increase in highway length by 5 km (from original 35km to 40km).
As a result, the alignment was found no longer financially viable and the Federal Government later decided that the EKVE ends at Ukay Perdana only and termed it as Phase 1.
