Eco Grandeur Interchange Enhances Connectivity In Puncak Alam

KUALA SELANGOR, Nov 10 (Bernama) -- The opening of the new Eco Grandeur Interchange and Toll Plaza marks another important step in enhancing connectivity for the residents, business owners and the wider Puncak Alam community.

EcoWorld president and chief executive officer Datuk Chang Khim Wah said the new interchange on the Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Selangor Expressway (LATAR) will greatly improve convenience and mobility while unlocking opportunities for growth across the township and its surrounding areas.

“By investing in key infrastructure upfront, we're ensuring that EcoWorld’s developments are positioned to thrive from the very outset.

“It also forms a key cornerstone of our commitment to sustainability to create well-connected, environmentally attuned, economically vibrant and highly liveable destinations where communities and enterprises can flourish and grow together.”

He said this at the launch of the Eco Grandeur Interchange and Toll Plaza today, which was jointly officiated by Minister of Works Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi and Menteri Besar of Selangor Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.

Eco Grandeur Interchange and Toll Plaza, a landmark public-private partnership initiative designed to enhance connectivity and spur regional growth in Puncak Alam, will officially open to traffic from 6 am tomorrow (Nov 11).  

Chang said the LATAR new interchange will provide direct access via Exit 2502 to Eco Grandeur, a 566.55-hectare integrated township and Eco Business Park (EBP) V, a 339.93-hectare industrial hub. 

“Completed in October 2025, the RM200 million project encompasses the interchange, toll plaza, road-widening works and infrastructure upgrades to enhance connectivity and traffic flow across the Puncak Alam corridor,” he said.

He noted that the new link is expected to enhance mobility for residents and commuters, improve logistics efficiency for businesses, and drive economic growth in surrounding areas. 

“To date, more than 4,600 residential and 215 commercial units have been completed in Eco Grandeur, with another 4,600 Rumah Selangorku (RSKU) affordable homes currently under development in support of the Selangor government's housing agenda. In EBP V a total of 416 factory lots/units have been completed," he added.

The Eco Grandeur-LATAR Interchange was developed through close collaboration between EcoWorld, government agencies, and infrastructure partners, reflecting the strength of Malaysia's public-private partnership model in delivering impactful infrastructure for communities.

It includes the Eco Grandeur Toll Plaza with features 10 lanes, five in each direction, equipped with multiple payment systems including RFID, Touch 'n Go, Open Payment, and SmartTAG.

This project is expected to improve traffic distribution and reduce congestion along Jalan Meru Tambahan (JMT), particularly with the growing population within the Puncak Alam corridor. 

It will also catalyse further investment, stimulate local economic activity, and strengthen Selangor's appeal as a hub for high-impact industries and foreign direct investment.

Beyond the interchange, the group has undertaken public infrastructure upgrades, including road improvements and flood-mitigation measures along Jalan Meru Tambahan and Persiaran Moktar Dahari, benefiting not only its residents but the wider Puncak Alam community.

Meanwhile, EcoWorld also played a pivotal role, with the Selangor government, in reviving the long-abandoned Projek Peneroka in Puncak Alam, which involved building new homes and providing compensation to 987 affected settlers. 

This initiative enabled families who had waited more than 17 years to finally own their homes in 2020, underscoring EcoWorld's enduring commitment to community upliftment and social responsibility.
