Jalan Damansara, Kuala Lumpur (8 July, 2016)
Jalan Damansara is a road on the western part of the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. Once a country road that leads from Kuala Lumpur to Damansara. According to author Mariana Isa1, the original Damansara was a village by the banks of the Klang River in presently Selangor. The village of Damansara is at the confluence of Sungai Damansara with the Klang River.
With a length of 16 miles, Damansara Road was possibly the longest road in the Klang Valley in the late 19th century. Present-day Jalan Damansara is nothing like what it was back then. Due to numerous road widening, and the renaming of various stretches, only disjointed fragments of Jalan Damansara exist today.
On this page I am attempting to document every remaining fragment of Jalan Damansara. If in future any of these fragments should be expunged, I will update the information.

Segments of Jalan Damansara today
Jalan Damansara Segment I: Jalan Hishamuddin to Jalan TraversJalan Sultan Hishamuddin & Jalan Sultan Sulaiman meet Jalan Damansara 
Jalan Damansara meets Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin and Jalan Sultan Sulaiman.
Jalan Travers meets Jalan Damansara 
Jalan Travers becomes Jalan Damansara after the flyover for Jalan Stesen Sentral.
Jalan Damansara Segment II: Jalan Istana to Jalan Damanseri
Jalan Syed Putra Interchange 
Jalan Damansara meets Jalan Istana at this interchange with Jalan Syed Putra. An exit on eastbound Jalan Damansara also connects with Jalan Belfield.
Jalan Syed Putra Interchange 
Jalan Damansara forms and interchange with Jalan Tun Sambanthan. An exit ramp also connect westbound Jalan Damansara to Jalan Stesen Sentral.
The new Jalan Damansara meets the old Jalan Damansara 
Yet another odd junction, between the widened Jalan Damansara and a remnant of the old Jalan Damansara. A little north of this is the junction with Lebuhraya Sultan Iskandar and Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim, so the stretch in between can be regarded as a no man's land. For convenience sake, I regard the stretch north of the junction as Lebuhraya Suyltan Iskandar.
Jalan Damansara - Jalan Damanseri junction 
Jalan Damansara meets Jalan Damanseri in a junction, near the Damansara Link of the Sprint Expressway. That Damansara Link was originally Jalan Damansara too, but was renamed.
Jalan Damansara Segment III: Sprint Expressway to Damansara-Puchong Expressway
Sprint Expressway Exit 
Exit 2312 of the Sprint Expressway (E23) connects with a remnant segment of Jalan Damansara.
LDP Interchange 
The westernmost end of Jalan Damansara meets the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (E11).
An underpass connects westbound Jalan Damansara to northbound LDP.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
