Putrajaya–Cyberjaya Expressway

Putrajaya–Cyberjaya Expressway, Federal Route 29, is a major expressway in Klang Valley, Malaysia. The expressway connects Serdang interchange on Damansara–Puchong Expressway to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang. It was named after the two sides of the MSC cities, Putrajaya and Cyberjaya.

Route background

The kilometre marker for the expressway is a continuation from the E11 Damansara–Puchong Expressway; therefore, the Putrajaya–Cyberjaya Expressway assumes the same Kilometre Zero as the Damansara–Puchong Expressway.

History

The road used to be known as the 15 state road from Puchong to Dengkil.

Construction began in 1997 and was divided into four phases. The first phase was from the Damansara–Puchong Expressway to the Persiaran Utara interchange (completed in 1999), the second from Persiaran Utara to Dengkil (completed in 2001), the third from Dengkil to Sepang (completed in 2006) and the fourth from Sepang to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), completed in 2009.

Motorcycle lanes

There have been criticisms on the state of the expressway. Compared to other expressways, there are many hazards along certain stretches such as broken street lamps and dangerously uneven road surface. Most motorcyclists avoided using the designated lanes due to untrimmed tree branches jutting out into the lane, sand on the road, unlit tunnels and flooding.

Features

  • Motorcycle lane
  • The first future federal highway on Multimedia Super Corridor
  • Arch bridge at major interchanges along the highway
  • Widest highway and interchange
  • Highway with ERL railway line
  • Highway between Putrajaya and Cyberjaya
  • Dengkil Lake Bridge

At most sections, the Federal Route 29 was built under the JKR R5 road standard, allowing maximum speed limit of up to 90 km/h.

Driving conditions on this expressway can be hazardous, with unlit street lights, twisted guard rails and poorly maintained road surface.
