MRT2 - 2022
ECRL - 2024
HSR - 2026
MRT3 - 2027

No significant improvement liao. Traffic still like hell during rush hour like salak highway, sg besi highway, kajang exit intersection to plus highway, etc

IMHO Jalan Cheras n Loke Yew road to KL got slight decongestion in the morning and evening. Maybe 15%?

But we also have to remind ourselves that there are a lot of new condos VPing recently along the SBK line that couldve made the jam even worse.

Not more than 10% thats for sure. The difference that you feels is just because the roadworks because SBK line along that strech already completed.

That could be true

sigh... fast track? talk is always easy... action? slow slow wait...
first report said ready by 2016 Q4 or 2017 Q1... now 2017Q4 coming, report also belum come out... still in study? slow track?

Wonder where is the proposed station located at Mt Kiara?

Any insiders here?

BBBUUU

Apa lagi? Mesti mau tolong kroni naza aka kl metropolis lorrr

Its good to have this kind of public transport. But then. Until when lah. Nak merasa KL without any mass construction. Jalan2 KL pon happy2 je. Hmm

That is 1 station, but I think Mt Kiara itself will have another station. Where will it be exactly?

This comes as they had expected updates on project’s progress to come in after the Budget 2018’s announcement in October.

“Based on our latest checks, the full feasibility studies, including the proposed railway scheme, have largely been finalised. However, no cost estimate and alignment distance were revealed,” it said.

“We also understand that due to the coverage area of MRT 3, which will largely be within KL city, at least 70 percent of the alignment needs to be constructed underground.”

With this, the research house expects the construction cost of MRT3 to stand between RM35 billion and RM40 billion.

The estimate is based on RM1 billion cost per km for the underground portion, which is benchmarked on MRT 2, and RM500 million cost/km for the above-ground portion.

“We understand that this milestone is targeted to be achieved by mid-2018. It will then take at least another six months from Cabinet approval to project awards,” it said.

“MRT 3 will be the rail story for 2018. We believe MRT 3 could be completed two years earlier than the 2027 original completion target.”

The research house noted that aside from the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang line and the upcoming MRT Sungai Buloh–Serdang–Putrajaya line, MRT 3 circle line will also connect and integrate with all other urban rail systems, including the monorail and LRT.

“Maintain sector Overweight. Downside risks are election/political risks, project delays and funding difficulties,” said CIMB Research.

“While sector beneficiaries of rail contracts are broad-based, Gamuda remains our top big-cap rail play and it could emerge as the biggest winner of the RM55 billion East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) and LRT 3 underground scope in 2H 2017 and MRT 3 in 2018.”

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 6): Mass Rapid Transit Corp Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) has invited local construction and infrastructure development firms to participate in the tender process to build, on a turnkey basis, and provide financing for the upcoming third mass rapid transit (MRT3) line, which analysts have estimated to cost between RM35 billion and RM40 billion.

According to the notice of tender, MRT Corp said the successful applicant will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning of the 40km MRT3 line, featuring 32km of twin-bored tunnels and 8km of elevated viaducts.

MRT Corp said the successful tenderers for the upcoming MRT3 line are also expected to develop tunnels, viaducts, stations, depots, trackworks, rolling stock, signalling, power supply and other related structures.

“The permanent works shall be designed to permit the railway to operate at a maximum operating speed of 100 km per hour, with an operationally proven grade of automation — level 4 signalling systems for driverless urban metro system,” MRT said in the notice.

To participate in the tender process, MRT Corp said prospective applicants may form joint-ventures, consortium, partnerships or similar arrangements — with or without a separate legal entity.

As for the JV, MRT Corp noted it must not comprise of more than eight members.

In order to qualify and participate in the tender process, MRT Corp said prospective applicants must meet the minimum financial capacity of having a paid-up capital and a shareholder’s fund that is not less than RM5 billion.

MRT Corp said the applicants must simultaneously demonstrate a positive earnings ratio over the last three years, calculated based on average net profit to average turnover.

As for the financing proposal, MRT Corp said it should include a minimum financing period of 30 years, with a drawdown period of up to 2028, while the margin of financing must not be less than 90% of the expected total project cost.

MRT Corp said financing can be obtained in five different currency denominations: Malaysian ringgit, US dollar, Chinese renmini, Japanese yen or Euro.

“The financing shall be in a single currency only, which must match the currency of contract price payments,” MRT Corp added.

Tender document submission must be simultaneously accompanied by a tender bond, which should be in the form of a bank guarantee, valued at RM5 million, and will remain valid for the next 180 days from the tender closing date of Dec 29, the.

“Any tender that is not accompanied by a Tender Bond will be rejected,” MRT Corp added.

Prior to submitting the tender, MRT Corp said prospective applicants are required to attend a tender briefing on Nov 15 and purchase the tender document valued at RM53,000.

The upcoming MRT3 line, the final alignment in the overall scheme of urban rail line, will feature 26 stations, of which 19 stations are underground and 7 stations elevated, the company added/

In his Budget 2018 speech, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the government, through MRT Corp, will expedite the construction of MRT3 or Circle Line and expects it to be completed by 2025, earlier than the initial target in 2027.

While MRT Corp has not revealed the preliminary alignment of the upcoming rail network, it was reported that the MRT3 line is said to cover Ampang Jaya, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Tun Razak Exchange, Bandar Malaysia, KL Ecocity, Pusat Bandar Damansara, Mont Kiara and Sentul.

The MRT3 line is also said to be integrated with the first line (MRT1) stretching from Sungai Buloh to Kajang, and the second line (MRT2) connecting Sungai Buloh to Putrajaya via Serdang.

MRT1 was built at a cost of RM21 billion, a RM2 billion saving from an initial forecast; while MRT2, which is still under construction, is estimated to cost RM32 billion once it is completed.

In September, CIMB Investment Bank Bhd had estimated the construction cost of MRT3 to range between RM35 billion and RM40 billion, based on assumption it will be built at a cost of RM1 billion per km for the underground portion, which is benchmarked on MRT 2, and RM500 million per km for the above-ground portion.
