THE opening of the elevated U-turn ramp, as part of the East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE), in Ukay Perdana, Hulu Kelang, has noticeably relieved traffic congestion in the area.

Since the ramp was opened on Jan 26, peak-hour bottlenecks at the junction of Jalan Ukay Perdana and Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) have eased significantly, according to road users.
