MMC-Gamuda KVMRT (PDP) Sdn Bhd has suggested several alternative routes through the housing estates in Cheras to lighten the traffic load along Jalan Cheras and the Cheras-Kajang Highway.

In response to StarMetro’s story on congestion in Cheras compounded by the construction of the MRT, company deputy construction director Adil Putra Ahmad said more VMS (variable message signboards) and signage would be put up to direct some traffic away from the gridlocked roads.
