Look at the positive sign, EKVE benefits are as follows:

BENEFITS OF HIGHWAY

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

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

3)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;

4)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;

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

6) Alternative route for users of Karak Highway, upon the completion of the Ukay Perdana – UIAM section.

If want go KLCC, exit which tol?
Ampang or Ukay perdana

dont think so. sg long driver super nasty and angry. they will get into trouble currently also not utar students not parking along main roads.
if from bukit sungai long then twin palms is faster as direct to highway without traffic lights.

looks like ampang interchange to akleh but looks like need to go through normal roads before reaching akleh... not direct connection

If you enter BMC EKVE to Semenyih, you need to pay 2 EKVE toll.
BMC toll and Sg Long Toll.

Skip - SILK Sg Long Toll.

If you enter BMC EKVE to Balakong or Serdang.
You need to pay 3 Tolls.

If not mistaken EKVE is adopting closed toll system. It means if you enter EKVE from BMC toll and exit at Sungai Long toll, you only pay 1 toll.

Currently there are only two lane opposite UTAR in front of Flora Green but in front of the future 3rd UTAR campus (Shl sales office at present) have 3 to 4 lanes, if no enforcement these people will park at the road size, 1 lane gone

Ya 1 toll but different charges based on distance similar with NS Highway.

Need to connect back to Jalan Ampang and exit Plaza Tol Dato Keramat? I not so familiar with that area.

If they really want to solve the parking issue in Sg Long, MPKJ should expand the roads and draw more parking space at the road side. The cars has to go somewhere, you can't stop people coming to do their daily chores, and you shouldn't make one life more difficult to ease minority others.

All the roadside around hospital, UTAR, flora, shell, all the way to forest green. These place are neither pedestrian walkway(they are uneven and difficult to walk on) nor roads, just some wild trees and cement barriers. Why not turn it into proper parking? We can even squeeze in proper brick walkway and flower patch. Which is similar to the roads around cypress and scotpines, facing pasar malam and old town cafe. That way people has more parking, MPKJ can cut maintenance cost and make more income too. It doesn't take a smart guy to think about that?

Current solution of renting land in BMC to park UTAR cars, and move pasar pagi to the current private car park is a stupid solution, not only wasting unnecessary money, cause troubles, doesn't solve anything, MPKJ is only sweeping their troubles aside, most likely when the solutions proven not working, election over dy.

If go to KLCC use Grand Saga Highway-Cheras-Loke Yew-Jalan Tun Razak much shorter, with MRT up wef July this year, traffic jam issue will be reduced substantially.

EKVE is more like a standby

Why the flood WORSEN after MPKJ took over? Before MPKJ came in to charge everybody with parking fees and hantam everyone with saman, I barely noticed any flooding at that area.

I am sure yall stay there noticed the "leaves blower" guy cleaning road leaves with a blower. One day I see this guy cleaning leaves in the area of the above flooding picture, he blow all the leaves into the drain, pretty sure he didn't plant to scoop them out.

Probably nearby development play a role too because after so many trees chopped, water catchment also affected.

More pedestrian walkway should be built especially from Forest Green to UTAR instead of turning into parking lot, it will make traffic worsen.

I actually happy to relocate the morning and night market to Bomba reserve land, it smooth the traffic and reduce the dirtiness along Persiaran SL1.

I do agree proper parking lot should be allocated opposite Cypress, Scotpines and the current market area after relocation + MPKJ need to ensure all street light are in function it is quite dark at night in Persiaran SL 1.

No news

Got to go BTHO don't know till when

Haha, i tot with UTAR students can justify for it

kan AEON balakong nearer?
