Pavilion Bukit Jalil paves the way for greater
accessibility in Bukit Jalil
Pavilion Bukit Jalil – The Icon of Connectivity has opened a new
flyover, directly linking Bukit Jalil City (Jalan 13/155C) to Puchong
via the Bukit Jalil Highway. Built by Malton Berhad (Malton), the
property developer behind the iconic 50-acre Bukit Jalil City, this
one-way 300-meter flyover began construction in 2018 and was
completed six months ahead of schedule. The flyover will relieve
25% of traffic coming from Bukit Jalil Highway during peak hours
and ease traffic for over 11,000 daily road users once Bukit Jalil
City development is fully completed as part of Bukit Jalil City’s
Masterplan.
“This new flyover will not only improve accessibility for
the Bukit Jalil community, but also benefit Pavilion Bukit Jalil’s
tenants by connecting the mall to a bigger catchment population
surrounding Bukit Jalil. Along with other upgrades to surrounding
infrastructure, we are committed to create a new highlyaccessible
metropolis in Bukit Jalil, with Pavilion Bukit Jalil as its
landmark lifestyle and shopping destination,” shared Dato’ Joyce
Yap, Retail Planner of Pavilion Bukit Jalil.
The overall upgrades to the infrastructure surrounding Bukit
Jalil City’s Masterplan make Pavilion Bukit Jalil highly accessible
and the linkage to the whole of Klang Valley through various
highways makes it easy and convenient to drive to Pavilion Bukit
Jalil, reinforcing its position as the Icon of Connectivity. To date,
alongside the new flyover, the masterplan includes the 100ft
road, widening of roads to six lanes, new U-turns, an underpass
and tunnel access to the upcoming mall’s basement carpark.
The catchment population of 1.9 million in and around
Bukit Jalil will also enjoy better foot-traffic accessibility
with four upcoming pedestrian link bridges expected to be

completed in June 2021. These link bridges will directly improve
pedestrian accessibility between the mall, the 80-acre Bukit Jalil
Recreational Park, as well as the business centre across the Bukit
Jalil Highway.
