With effect from Oct 6, 2012, there will be be a new express lane for those who want to travel from Puchong to Putrajaya using the Lebuhraya Damasara Puchong (LDP).
The express lane begins right after exiting the southbound toll plaza on the LDP (near Sunway). When you approach the toll plaza, you will now need to choose between Plaza A or Plaza B.
Plaza A (on the right) is for those who want to travel towards Putrajaya and Shah Alam, while Plaza B (on the left side) is for those who want to go Sungai Besi, or want to turn into the Bandar Puchong Jaya business and residential areas.
Upon exiting the toll, motorists will not be able to switch lanes
between Plaza A and B because barriers will be placed from the toll
booths until IOI Business Park to segregate traffic heading towards
Puchong and Putrajaya.
This project aims to mitigate the evening peak traffic congestion at Bandar Puchong Jaya area. But will the traffic congestion in Puchong ever be over?
When I moved into this area some 17 years ago, the traffic is bearable. Some evenings you can see a group of cows being herded along the road from their grazing area to home somewhere in Puchong. Sometimes we find patches of cow dung on the road. Now where are the cows?
The traffic situation in Puchong has indeed changed over the years.
