Highway system

Cheras Highway, Federal Route 1 also known as Cheras Road and Loke Yew Road is a major highway in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

History

[edit]
Taman Midah MRT station now stands at the opposite side of the former location of Kajang-bound Jalan Cheras toll plaza, photo taken in May 2022.

This highway was upgraded in 1988 by Metramac Corporation Sdn.Bhd. The Cheras Road toll plaza began operations from 1 September 1990. After being suspended a year later before reopening on 15 September 1991, toll charges reduced by 50 percent from the usual RM1. After many complaints and traffic jams, the toll plaza was abolished on 14 September 2003 and replaced by Taman Midah MRT station on 17 July 2017. Today, the highway is maintained by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).

Due to the congestion on the Cheras Highway, two projects were led by the DBKL. These included an underpass from the Cheras–Kajang Expressway to Taman Connaught and flyovers to Taman Len Seng and Alam Damai. It was opened on 14 April 2008. Other projects are Bulatan Cheras–Bandar Tun Razak roundabout underpass from Cheras Highway to Cheras Road and Jalan Tenteram was opened on 2010. The Sungai Buloh–Kajang MRT line runs along much of the highway, starting from Taman Pertama MRT station, past the Taman Connaught interchange and along the Cheras-Kajang Expressway to Kajang.
