Controversies and criticsms

Sentul flyover sections built at the TNB transmission line (National Grid)

During the construction of the expressway, the Sentul flyover was built along the 132kv of Tenaga Nasional Berhad, TNB's transmmision line (National Grid) from Kepong intake towards Sentul KTMB intake.

DUKE's bicycle and pedestrian bridge near TNB pylon at Batu

The bicycle and pedestrian bridge, which was built by a contractor appointed by the Konsortium Expressway Timur Utara Kuala Lumpur Sdn Bhd (Kesturi) in 2007, came under fire as it is situated near high tension cables (National Grid), and the bridge not insulated according to Tenaga Nasional Berhad, TNB's guidelines. This has caused concern for the safety of the school children attending Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Koperasi Polis Phase 2, Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri Nilam, SMK Batu Muda and Saidina Hamzah Religious Primary School.
