Putrajaya MRT Line Phase 2 will operate at full capacity in March 2023 – delayed from original January deadline
The second phase of Putrajaya MRT MRT Line will be fully operational by March 2023. This is stated by MRT Corp, reported by FMT.
MRT Corp said construction works for the second phase of the line, from Kampung Batu along Jalan Ipoh in KL to Putrajaya Sentral in the administrative capital, have been completed.
“The 38.7km phase 2 section, including 15 elevated stations and 9 underground stations, is expected to come into operation in March 2023,” the announcement said. If so, that’s a two-month delay from the originally mentioned opening date of January 2023.
The first phase from Kwasa Damansara to Kampung Batu has been running since June 16 this year. Stations between the two include Kampung Selamat and Sungai Buloh, formerly on the Kajang MRT Line.
From there, the train followed MRR2 to Kepong, following Jalan Kepong and Jalan Ipoh. The stations along this route are Damansara Damai, Sri Damansara Barat, Sri Damansara Sentral, Sri Damansara Timur, Metro Prima, Kepong Baru, Jinjang, Sri Delima and Kg Batu.
Many people on the south side of the Klang Valley have been eagerly awaiting the opening of Phase 2 – they’ve been waiting a long time, so two more months probably won’t make a big difference? Those who live near Phase 1 stations will finally be able to travel to KL and beyond with this route.
