probably due to development in semenyih...more and more people go to stay in semenyih?

Not only Semenyih but the whole South Greater KL area such as Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Semenyih, Kajang etc..

This same chairman LBS also act as building committee chairman for SR C Bandar Kajang Utama near by Kajang 2 & Tropicana Heights if not mistaken

how about kajang utama chinese school??? open already? got building or not?

I only saw a sign board for SR C Kajang Utama near by one roundabout in Kajang 2, my goodness from 2009 till now heard that only recently the land issue settled, I know very little on this..

Silk only have 4 toll Plaza: Sungai Ramal, Sungai Balak, Bukit Kajang and Twin Palm Sungai Long...

The sudden surge of the revenue implies that more and more people actually migrate/commuting to Kajang / Semenyih / Bangi area, which serve as one of the most important highways for commuting within this area.

If taking RM 1 as average per vehicle, that's mean more than 40 million vehicles pass through these 4 toll plaza, or representing 3.3 million commuting traffic per month or more than 100 thousand per day..

Yup, the southern part of Greater KL is booming, if Silk is smart enough it should allow u-turn after toll with one way fee in order to encourage Sg Long & BMC residents to pay toll, nowdays both township use the highway at no cost unless they want to go south.

Understand from the website:

KAJANG SILK Highway, not only reduce traveling time for traffic between North and South of Kajang but also, makes to and from Kuala Lumpur, Cheras, Sg. Long and Balakong, Putrajaya, Semenyih, Bangi, KL International Airport and Seremban most convenient.

To capture the KL bound road user which is much more than Semenyih bound and improve their bottom line Silk need to be more generous.

Lol... If Silk smart enough, just build a flyover near the exit and put toll booth there, guarantee another surge in the revenue next year..

You mean flyover bridge across the highway? a lot of cost involved woh

It's a good return investment, not a cost..

I really hope Silk will do it but I doubt it

hehehe, depend "how smart" SILK could be..

By the way, if SILK allow a U-turn after the toll, wondering why Twin Palm want to build a tunnel instead?

Just make 2 U-turns, one before and one after already can serve the purpose, rather spending huge amount of money for digging the tunnel...

Thanks for the details Palmwalker001! Yeah in the near future the revenue will definitely increase! Once Ecohill Link opens I am sure there revenue will increase further. It's a blessing in disguise for SILK Holdings Bhd when their deals with IHM falls out.

I think the initial intention to build the Twin palm tunnel is meant for Twin Palmians usage, but eventually it is open to everyone to use for U-turn purposes. So everyone needs to pay RM1 to use the tunnel to U-turn to SILK highway.

That's why I am wondering if SILK wants to involve in such hassle since the currently available U-turn road just beside it..

By the way is there a reason why this place is called Sungai Long?

When I first time came across this name, I found it abit funny lor. How come got Malay campur English? Haha

Why call Sungai Long not Sungai Panjang? Haha

Lol, basically there is only very little cost involved if allowed u-turn after toll with one way fee, it kill two birds with one stone ie improve traffic/profit/cash flow and relieve the pressure from a component party of Selangor government to demand u-turn before toll.

Compare to building a flyover after Bkt Sg Long exit, this proposal is much more cost effective and can be implemented in short time.
