The new road extends from Persiaran Setia Damai and connects motorists to Persiaran Setia Alam.

IN TWO weeks’ time, residents from about 2,000 households in Setia Alam will have an alternative route to the main road of Persiaran Setia Alam.

Those living in Jalan Setia Impian 2-8 and Jalan Setia Indah 9-13 will be able to use the new 1.5km road, which extends from Persiaran Setia Damai, opposite Jalan Setia Damai U13/16J, to the main road.

The road, which is expected to open on March 10, will also benefit those travelling along Persiaran Setia Indah, Persiaran Setia Perdana, Persiaran Setia Prima and Persiaran Setia Damai.

Shah Alam city councillor Simon Siow said the new road would ease the heavy peak-hour traffic on the bridge that connects Persiaran Setia Perdana and Persiaran Setia Prima.

“The new road will provide an alternative route for motorists and help divert traffic from the bridge,” he said.

Currently, road markings and landscaping works are under way.
