A FOUR-LANE road being built in Taman Kinrara, Puchong, Selangor, is expected to improve safety by keeping traffic away from a narrow internal road.
The RM2.4mil 550m road will connect Jalan TK4/5, Jalan TK5/1 and Jalan TK 5/32a, creating a new main route between Sections 4 and 5.
State investment, trade and mobility committee chairman Ng Sze Han said the project was about 15% complete, with site clearing work underway.
The existing road, Jalan TK 5/32a, was intended to be a residential road but has become a main route between the two sections, he said.
Sze Han added that the narrow two-way road was affected by motorists who parked or double parked by the roadside, leaving limited space for moving vehicles.
“Smart Selangor and Rapid KL buses also use the road,” he said during a site visit.
He added that Jalan TK5/32a would be converted into a one-way road, with its entry and exit points reorganised to improve traffic flow.
“This is good news for Taman Kinrara residents, particularly those in Sections 4 and 5, as it will connect the two areas.
“The new road will also improve traffic safety in the area,” said Sze Han, who is also Kinrara assemblyman.
The project will include pedestrian walkways, a raised speed table and LED street lights.
Traffic lights will also be installed at the Jalan TK5/1 junction to improve safety.
Sze Han said existing bus stops near the junction would be relocated to both sides of the new road about 50m away.
Construction began in May and is expected to be completed by mid-2027.
Also present were Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) Engineering Department director Dr Mohd Ariffuddin Kamari, Engineering Department engineer Syahizam Ahmad Niza, Zone 16 councillor Lee Jen Uyin and Zone 10 councillor Ng Seow Chen.
