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).
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
