Kelana Jaya LRT Extension Project @ Putra Heights

LRT extension project has been underway since last year and one can see a few of these structures around Klang Valley and Selangor.

The Kelana Jaya extension project will  terminate at Putra Heights and the LRT track works already had begun in way of Station 12.

Notice some of the high end homes along this route. Wonder how much this houses will cost now with the LRT track and station is just a stone throw away.

Even a school is spotted just beside the track. This might make life easier for the students to commute home in the future.

 

Launching gantry is widely used for the LRT/MRT extension project where the segmented box girder will be lifted and hanged before the span is tensioned.

 

The project is scheduled to be completed in 2015. I am a bit disappointed that there is no LRT connection to Putrajaya (which is only served with KLIA Transit) as I'm sure it will complete the circle and somehow address some of the traffic woes as well as the connectivity issues.
