Jalan Klang Lama is the former main road that cuts through the Klang Valley. Also known as Old Klang Road, it was constructed by the British between 1905 and 1908, at a time when there was no other highway or expressway in the area. This was Klang Road until 1959, when the Kuala Lumpur-Klang Highway was built to reduce the distance between the two towns. From then on, the old road became known as Old Klang Road.
There was a time when "Klang Road" connected Kuala Lumpur to Klang. Since then, the road had been fragmented into different sections, many of which have been renamed, creating latter-day roads such as Jalan Syed Putra and New Pantai Expressway.
Today's Old Klang Road has been fragemented into two parts. The eastern section starts at the interchange with Jalan Syed Putra, the Federal Highway (Federal Route 2) and the East-West Link Expressway (E37). This section ends at the start of the New Pantai Expressway. Where the New Pantai Expressway ends, Old Klang Road continues once more, running west until it ends at a junction in front of the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP).
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.
