Jalan Sultan Ismail to Jln Sg. Besi

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4704984921199856731

finally its really opening :-)

and also, wat's the music u used in the video? i like it...

and finally, on the single lane smart tunnel, i'll kill myself if a jammed occured and i stuck there...no where to go...

the tunnel looks quite small

pass through it yesterday from jln davis to sg besi.

its a two lane single direction road tunnel. the traffic was moderate at abt 6pm but was smooth flowing since theres no junction, only one direction out.

one thing though....their touch and go panel is a bit too far to reach. shud be nearer like toll booths, they mount them on a box which brings the panel nearer to the driver.

It would be a nightmare should an accident occurs inside the tunnel. Dunno whether they got a lot of emergency exits or not.

Leaking problem? It could happen as the drainage tunnel is just above (or below?) the road tunnels. Now that would be a nightmare. Drowning and traffic jams at the same time.

Thans for sharing the video Petepix
Damn the car is so fast and the music made me think it's a cut from Need fo Speed at times

wow what price are thye gonna charge??

Based on Samy "Toll" Vellu, it will be based on God's evaluation.

i think anything from RM3-5 per trip

SMART Upper Deck = Level 3
Upper Deck

Lower Deck = Level 2
Lower Deck

Ground Level = Level 7

from what i watch from extreme engineering, the drainage is supposed to be on lower level. And if massive flood happens, they would shutdown the traffic tunnel and turn it into drainage too.

let hope no major problem when it rains heavy

our ambition is good, projects are good, but lacks maintanence..

That will one damn expensive trip. At least RM1/km. I think at least 50% goes to the "Toll Devil's" pockets.

If that really happens, then Sg. Besi can besome a waterworld already.

Let's see how this project looks like in a few year's time. Hopefully it won't be like the buildings in Putrajaya. Everything is like coming apart.

SMART tunnel made by not-so-smart ppl referring to us malaysians.
i've got friends working there, and it's interesting to hear the things they say.
along the lines of.... saving cost of the project, some things have been..... .... compromised.

oh well, but so is everything in malaysia, and they're all still functional..

i hope they don't compromise on our safety

At least this tunnel is free from "bocor" problem coz it is a drain itself.
