There is a new highway built to bypass the crowded Rawang Town, Selangor. The bypass is an elevated bypass and it takes you from the outskirts of Rawang town to Serendah town. The highway is currently closed to traffic. It is a 4 lane highway (2 lanes each way). This made an ideal opportunity for cyclists to experience a brand new 9.0 km (one way) length of highway cycling, free of traffic. (for now).

The highway is spanking new and finishing touches are being made to get it ready to receive traffic.
