Kuala Lumpur residents will have to brace themselves for horrific traffic conditions when the construction of the city's Mass Rail Transport (MRT) project starts this June.
The duration of the ordeal is however unclear. Reason being the environmental assessment report released on Monday by the project's consultant ERE Consulting Group does not state the project's time frame.
According to the report, the roads affected include Persiaran Surian (with a capacity of 5,300 cars per hour), the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP, 8,400 cars per hour) and Sprint Highway and Jalan Semantan (that peak at 12,6000 cars per hour) while traffic congestion is expected to be significant at the Bukit Bintang and Cochrane stations (of the proposed Sungai Buloh-Kajang line) due to movement of construction vehicles… and its surrounding land use.
