Chronology of Events:

 

  1. At about 9:00 am on Wednesday 18-6-2003, about 30 residents gathered at LITRAK office situated near the LDP Sunway Toll Plaza to protest about the following:

    • The construction of two flyovers to and from Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil to Sunway Toll, instead of an underpass as originally approved.

    • The construction of two left turn flyovers from Jalan Puchong/LDP in front of IOI Mall to and from the Sunway Toll.

    • The lack of a right turn flyover from Jalan Puchong/LDP to Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil. 

    • The lack of a interchange in front of IOI Mall as originally approved.

    • The lack of consultation and public information on the project by the Highway Authority.

    •  The lack of bus stops and other facilities along the Jalan Puchong/LDP.

  2. The residents representative Dr. Quek Keng Hong met the Communication Manager of LITRAK and handed a memorandum containing the above demands. The residents requested for a meeting. 

  3. LITRAK agreed to a meeting on 26-6-2003 at 2:30 pm at their office.

  5. The residents expressed their concern on the traffic congestion in front of IOI Mall and question LITRAK for their rationale for not providing a right turn flyover from Jalan Puchong/LDP to Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil- the direction where most of traffic are heading (thus causing the present congestion). Other items as per Item 1 above are also raised.

Story About Jalan Puchong...

Jalan Puchong has been around for decades since the British colonial days. 

It provides a vital link from the south-west corner of Kuala Lumpur to the Federal Capital.

In early 1990's, Puchong began its rapid transformation from an area consisting of ex-mining lands and rubber estates to the new development hub of Klang Valley. 

In late 1990's, LITRAK was given the concession to build the LDP (Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong). 

Under the concession, the stretch of Jalan Puchong in front of IOI Mall was converted into part of the LDP. 

The LDP was completed in 1999. 

This was the beginning of a nightmare to many local residents.

For many years, locals have been using Jalan Puchong as a service road to go about their daily business- long before the existence of LDP.

With the construction of the LDP, residents are inconvenienced by the traffic congestion.

A journey from Bandar Puchong Jaya to Pusat Bandar Puchong which used to take 5 minutes, is now taking 30 minutes or more.

In May 2002, the opening of TESCO has turn the traffic situation from bad to worst.

It is common to see cars getting stuck in a 2 km jam in Jalan Puchong from the intersection with Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil to TESCO. 

The jam is caused by traffic turning right from Jalan Puchong in front of IOI Mall into Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil. 

The above can be seen in the following pictures:
 

Jalan Puchong in front of IOI Mall heading towards the Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil intersection. Taken at 4 pm on a normal day. 

Notice the congestion on the two right turn lanes going to Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil. The left lane going to Sunway Toll is almost empty.

 
 

Bird eye view of the same location as above. Taken at 7:30 pm.

Again, notice the congestion on the two right turn lanes going to Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil. As stated earlier, the left lane going to Sunway Toll is almost empty.

Congestion at the U-Turn near the intersection between Jalan Puchong and Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil. The existing flyover on top.  
 

Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil heading towards Jalan Puchong intersection, where the originally approved underpass has been replaced by a flyover leading to Sunway Toll.  
 

Present exit used by residents of Bandar Puchong Jaya (Jalan Tempua Area). With the construction of the flyover (instead of the underpass), residents will be denied direct access to Sunway Toll.
