‘Make it an elevated highway’

Planning to take to the streets: Mohd Arshad (fourth from right) and some of the representatives of 32 residents associations in Ampang want the highway to be elevated and to bypass Jalan Ukay Perdana.

MORE than 200,000 Ampang residents, who will be affected by the East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE), plan to take to the streets if Ampang Jaya Municipal Council approves the proposed route that links to Jalan Ukay Perdana, the main artery connecting Ukay Perdana, Bukit Antarabangsa, Sering Ukay and Ukay Bistari.

The residents fear that the link would cause major congestion near their homes.
