The Company

Lingkaran Trans Kota Sdn Bhd, or better known as Litrak is the concessionaire of Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong. Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP) was completed in December 1999, months ahead from its tentative 30 months construction schedule, thus reflecting the sound management and technical expertise of Lingkaran Trans Kota Sdn Bhd (LITRAK). LDP has 4 toll plazas ? TP1 (Penchala), TP2 (Petaling Jaya), TP3 (Puchong Barat) and TP4 (Puchong Selatan).

LDP is aimed to alleviate congestion in the city and allows for greater capacity on the north-south corridor, stretching 40 km from Sri Damansara in the north, connecting Petaling Jaya and Puchong and Putrajaya in the south. Increasingly, more economic activities along LDP corridor generate higher volume of daily commuting on the Highway.




An intra-urban highway, the LDP allows you to travel in, out and within residential areas and easily access townships in Kepong, Damansara, Bandar Sunway, Subang Jaya, Puchong and Shah Alam. Its 14 interchanges promote faster and convenient local traffic dispersal with its easy-to-remember coded system for entry and exit on the highway.


In keeping up with the vast growth of traffic volume due to major developments along the alignment, LITRAK has embarked on a 6 interchanges project which includes construction and upgrading of Kelana Jaya Interchange, PJS7/PJS9 Interchange, Puchong Jaya Interchange (upgrading), IOI Mall Interchange, Taman Puchong Industry Interchange and Kg. Bharu Interchange (upgrading). The project, which has begun in December 2002 and is expected to complete early 2005.

History



On 26 April 1996, Litrak signed a 33-year concession with the government for the construction of LDP. Under the concession agreement, the government has agreed to provide the land required for the highway.
On 19 December 1996, Litrak was listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE).




LDP started its operation on the 25th January 1999 it was officiated by the Minister of Works, YB Dato' Seri Samy Vellu. The operations team moved to the five-storey Operations Building at the Sunway Toll Plaza in November 1998 which integrated all the operations of the Group under one roof and provided better co-ordination and monitoring of the entire business of the Group.

Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP) was completed in December 1998, months ahead from its tentative 30 months construction schedule and thus reflecting the sound management and technical expertise of Litrak Group.

With this, LDP completes the critical link on the western corridor of the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR II) circle and provides a link for motorists to move from North and South within the Klang Valley with much ease.

Implementation Of 2-Phase Traffic Light System At Motorola Signalised Intersection


31 May 2005

Following numerous complaints and requests by the public, and further concurred by a traffic study, Lingkaran Trans Kota Sdn Bhd (LITRAK) will reduce the existing 3-phase traffic light system at the Motorola Signalized Intersection to a 2-phase system for faster traffic dispersal at the junction.

With this 2 phase system, the straight movement to Bandar Sunway from Kelana Jaya will not be allowed thus allowing more green time to motorists from Bandar Sunway to Kuala Lumpur and Kelana Jaya to Shah Alam. Motorists from Kelana Jaya to Bandar Sunway will use only the cable-stayed bridge.

For better understanding about the scheme, please refer to the schematic drawing attached. This scheme will be implemented effectively at 6.00am on 4th June 2005 (Saturday).

Also please take note that a minor traffic diversion will be carried out to facilitate the road marking and other related works at the area. Motorists are advised to adhere to traffic signs posted. For more information, public can call LDP Helpline 03-7494 7333 / 5637 2099 or visit www.litrak.com.my

PENCHALA LINK A BETTER ALTERNATIVE FOR MRR2





The temporary closure of the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) due to safety reasons beginning early February 2006 should not deter motorists from the convenience of travelling in the city.

Road users from Kepong, Bandar Sri Damansara and Sungai Buloh can avoid massive traffic congestion on the MRR2, especially during peak hours, by using the Penchala Link, SPRINT Highway to get to the city centre. Likewise, road users from the city centre, Batu Caves, Gombak, and Selayang can also enjoy the convenience of smooth flow traffic at the Penchala Link to reach Petaling Jaya, Sungai Buloh and Sri Damansara on the western part of the city (please refer to the map for direction).

Those from the western part of the city can enter the 5.5km Penchala Link via the Lebuhraya Damansara - Puchong at the Penchala Interchange (near Tesco hypermarket in Mutiara Damansara). On the other hand, the motorists from the city centre or the eastern part of the city can enter Penchala Link via Jalan Duta or Kerinchi Link at Mont Kiara. It takes only about five minutes to travel pass the Penchala Link.

The smooth drive on the Penchala is certainly a better alternative to the congested MRR2. Apart from cutting the journey time short, it also help the motorists to save on the petrol cost which is getting too expensive with the recent price hike. Furthermore, a smooth drive also reduces stress while driving.

Should you encounter any problem, kindly call LITRAK for assistance at 03-74947333.
