MRT Line 2 Kampung Pandan Roundabout Intervention Shaft 2

Project data

Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The SSP Line is the second line of the KVMRT Project to be developed. It will serve a corridor with a population of around 2 million people stretching from Sungai Buloh, through the centre of Kuala Lumpur and its southern suburbs, to Putrajaya, Malaysia’s federal administrative centre.

The alignment will have a length of 52.2km, consisting of 38.7km of elevated tracks and 13.5km running through underground tunnels. It will have 35 stations of which 24 are elevated and 11 underground.  There will be 11 interchange stations, making it much easier for commuters to transfer from the SSP Line to existing and future rail lines, including the future Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail. Sixteen stations will have park and ride facilities.

At commencement of full service, the SSP Line is expected to have a ridership of 529,000 passengers per day. This is expected to further improve the chronic traffic congestion currently faced by Kuala Lumpur.
