History

The Kajang Bypass was constructed to relieve the congestion in the town centre of Kajang, together with the Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway and the Kajang–Seremban Highway .[3] The construction was started in 1997 and was supposed to be completed in 2000; however, the bypass could not be completed on time due to delays of the construction of the Kajang–Seremban Highway project.[1][4] The final section from Kajang Perdana to Jalan Semenyih FT1 was only completed in 2004 and was opened to traffic on 15 March 2004.[2]

The Kajang Bypass was constructed at the cost of RM 20 million.[3]
