LRT LINE EXTENSION: 17km extension to be completed in stages and expected to be operational by 2014
PETALING JAYA: Work on the first phase of the extension to the Kelana Jaya Light Rail Transit (LRT) line will start next month.
This was confirmed by Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd (Prasarana) group managing director Shahril Mokhtar in an exclusive interview with The Malay Mail.
“The rail extension project will begin next month from Kelana Jaya to Lembah Subang to Glomac Business Centre. It’s a 4km stretch for a start.”
The proposed extension project, also known as the LEP, will then be extended further through Subang, USJ and ending at the LRT hub in Putra Heights.
Shahril said the 17km extension will be constructed in stages. “It will be built gradually, over time, after the public feedback is wrapped up on certain alignments and also once clearances are obtained from local authorities as well as the State government,” he said, adding that the extension line will have 13 new stations.
All stations will have the necessary facilities which include lifts, escalators, surau and toilets. They will also be equipped with facilities for the disabled such as ramps, lifts, tactiles, low ticket counters and toilets.
The Malay Mail understands the proposed stations are the only transit ones in the Klang Valley with accessibility for handicapped users.
“LEP will be commissioned by end of 2013 and from our planning drafts, the LRT extension line will be operational by 2014,” said Shahril.
Contract awarded to Bina Putri Bina by Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd to construct and complete the Ampang Line extension project for a contact value of RM634 million.
