KUALA LUMPUR – The RM1.7 billion New Pantai Expressway Extension (NPE 2) project, stretching 6.4km along the main route and 15km including ramps, is scheduled for completion by 2029. Works Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi said the project, part of the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Master Plan 2040, will ease congestion along the Pantai Dalam–Bangsar–Mahameru corridor and save motorists up to 25 minutes of travel time between Bangsar, Mid Valley, and Subang Jaya.

Fully funded by New Pantai Expressway Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of IJM Corporation Berhad, the development imposes no financial burden on the government. Nanta announced progress on the Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) toll system, with six companies expressing interest in deploying an AI-powered, business-to-business model for smoother travel.
