Approval for second Klang Valley MRT line

Listen to this article

The Malaysian Government has given its approval for MRT to build the Sungai-Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line (SSP Line) – the second line of the Klang Valley MRT Project.

Final approval follows a substantial consultation period and confirms several elements of the project, including the alignment and station locations.

SSP Line will include 37 new stations, of which 25 will be elevated and 11 will be underground.

The majority of the 52-kilometre corridor has remained unchanged from its initial design. However, slight changes were made in Kuchai Lama and Sungai Besi following feedback from the public. The government has also added a station near to Technology Park Malaysia (TPM).

SSP Line will also link up with the future Kuala Lumpur – Singapore high-speed rail link.

Phase one of the line between Sungai Buloh and Kampung Batu will open to passengers in July 2021, MRT has said. Phase two will come into service 12 months later.
