LEKAS-Eco Majestic interchange provides improved accessibility

SEMENYIH (Oct 19): Eco World Development Group Bhd's (EcoWorld) Eco Majestic development will now be accessible via three entry points with the opening of the LEKAS-Eco Majestic interchange.

The new dedicated interchange, which connects Eco Majestic’s West Gate to the Kajang-Seremban Expressway (LEKAS), will lead traffic straight into the township via the Eco Majestic toll plaza.

"We expect the interchange to benefit not only our residents but the community and businesses in the surrounding areas such as Rinching and Beranang," said EcoWorld president and CEO Datuk Chang Khim Wah in a press statement on the official opening of the interchange today.

“It will also help to cut short traveling time to Kuala Lumpur city centre to about 35 minutes,” he said

With the opening of the interchange, the 1,089-acre township in Semenyih will now be accessible through the East Gate via Jalan Semenyih, the North Gate via the grand Red Carpet Bridge and the West Gate via Exit 2102A from the LEKAS Highway, said EcoWorld chairman Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin during the opening ceremony of the interchange.

Liew said EcoWorld made a promise that Eco Majestic would come with the desired connectivity, infrastructure and amenities before the residents moved in.

"Today, we have reached a milestone with the opening of the new interchange that leads straight into the commercial precinct of the township before the first handover of homes by the end of this year," he added.

According to Liew, the interchange was built at a cost of RM50 million and the developer spent another RM165 million to improve the existing infrastructure and construct a new road into the township.

The ceremony was officiated by Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadilah Yusof and witnessed by Tunku Naquiyuddin Tuanku Ja'afar, director of Lebuhraya Kajang Seremban Sdn Bhd.

Fadilah said the interchange will help ease the traffic on Jalan Semenyih and shorten the travelling time to Kuala Lumpur city centre. "The Eco Majestic toll plaza has a total of 12 lanes, with six lanes on each side," he said.

Fadilah also noted that LEKAS Highway will become the first highway to be installed with the Radio Frequency Identification or RFID system. "However, the system is not ready today as it is not completed yet," he added.

Eco Majestic has a gross development value (GDV) of RM11.145 billion. Its first launch in May 2014 was the Cradleton Precinct, which comprised terraced houses, bungalow lots, cluster homes and semi-dees.
