KUALA LUMPUR: The south-bound section of the 19.6km New Pantai Expressway, from Subang Jaya to Jalan Bangsar, has opened earlier than scheduled to help ease traffic congestion on the Federal Highway and the Damansara-Puchong Highway.
Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said the RM1.2bil expressway would provide an alternative to road users from Subang Jaya and the surrounding areas to Kuala Lumpur. The north-bound section of the expressway, from Jalan Bangsar to Subang Jaya, is expected to open next month.
