The DASH highway has finally opened, and it is FREE to use until November 30, 2022!
DASH Highway Officially Open On October 14!
After six long years, the Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (DASH) is finally open for public use!
Stretching 20.1 kilometres, DASH connects Puncak Perdana to Penchala, connecting the eastern and western townships in the Klang Valley at a cost of RM4.2 billion.
DASH highway has a 3-lane, dual-carriageway design, with each lane 3.5 metres wide, and a 3 metre-wide emergency lane.
Here are the DASH highway toll plazas and interchanges:
- Puncak Perdana
- Alam Suria
- Denai Alam
- Kampung Mealy Subang
- Pinggiran Subang
- Subang Dua
- Subang Airport
- RRIM (Kwasa Damansara)
- Surian
- Seksyen 5 Kota Damansara
- Sunway Damansara
- Penchala
It will be monitored by 37 closed-circuit cameras, with 30 vehicle incident detection systems (VIDS). There will also be 18 emergency telephone booths, 10 variable message signs (VMS), as well as 2,441 LED street lights.
DASH Highway FREE To Use Until November 30!
DASH has a concession period of 55 years, lasting from December 25, 2014 until December 24, 2069.
Its toll rates have not been announced, but DASH will be FREE for public use from 12:01 AM, October 14 until November 30, 2022!
The DASH highway is expected to eventually serve an average of 50,000 daily users, and cut the 90-minute commute between Puncak Perdana to Penchala to just 30 minutes.
DASH is also expected to relieve traffic along Persiaran Mokhtar Dahari by 39%, Jalan Sungai Buloh by 33% and Persiaran Surian by 43%.
