Cheras Highway, Federal Route also known as Jalan Cheras and Jalan Loke Yew is a major highway in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

History

This highway was upgraded in 1988 by Metramac Corporation Sdn.Bhd.The Jalan Cheras toll plaza began operation from 1st September 1990. After being suspended a year later before reopening on 15 September 1991, toll charges reduced by 50 percent from the usual RM1. After much complaints and traffic jams, the toll plaza was abolished on 14th September 2003. Today, the highway is maintained by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL)).

Current developments

Due to the congestions that clogged up the Cheras Highway, two projects were led by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL). These included a underpass from the Cheras-Kajang Expressway to Taman Connaught and flyovers to Taman Len Seng and Alam Damai. It was opened on 14 April 2008.
