According to Astro Awani, MRT Corp CEO Ahahril Mohktar said the project’s consrtuction from Sungai Buloh to Jalan Semantan is expected to be complete by the end of this year, while the line from Jalan Semantan to Kajang would be completed by July 2017.
“The project is progressing very well. Overall, progress has reached about 65.4 per cent,” he said today.
Underground work for the MRT project had reached 79% completion, ahead of the company’s target of 74% for this time period.
The MRT system, when complete, will run 51km from Sungai Buloh to Kajang and service 1.2 million commuters across 31 stations.
