KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Highway Authority and the Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway (SPE) concessionaire have been instructed to immediately inspect the cracks on the Jalan Cheras flyover.
In a post on X, Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the safety of all quarters, especially road users, must be prioritised.
He said this in response to a post on X that pointed out the increasingly visible cracks on the flyover.
“I take this matter seriously,” he added.
The SPE, fully opened on November 3 last year, features a dual carriageway and seven elevated interchanges.
The expressway is divided into four main sections, namely Kerinchi-Salak (Section 1), Salak-Pandan (Section 2), Pandan-Setiawangsa (Section 3) and Setiawangsa-Taman Melati (Section 4), spanning a total distance of 20.7km.
It connects several other highways, including the SPRINT Expressway, Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway, Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway and Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2, to enhance network efficiency and reduce congestion in Kuala Lumpur. – June 8, 2024
