Jalan Travers, Kuala Lumpur (Mar 2024)
Jalan Travers is a major road in
Brickfields, and now in the new central business district of
KL Sentral in
Kuala Lumpur. It originally linked
Jalan Damansara to
Jalan Tun Sambanthan, but since January 2015, it ends at the junction with Jalan Bangsar. The stretch between Jalan Bangsar and Jalan Tun Sambanthan has been renamed
Jalan Rakyat, following the request of
Bank Rakyat, which has its headquarters on that road.
Originally known as Travers Road, Jalan Travers was named after Dr Ernest Aston Otho Travers
1, a doctor who worked among those who were stricken with leprosy at the leper colony in
Setapak. Today Jalan Travers is one of three roads named after him, the other two being Lorong Travers and Jalan Bukit Travers.
