This 250 metre-long pedestrian linkway has been 20 years in the making, not withstanding a few delays
According to The Star, Mid Valley Megamall opened in 1999, the same year the Kelana Jaya LRT started operations, but city and transport planners failed to give attention to pedestrian connectivity.
The idea for a pedestrian bridge between Mid Valley and the train stations only gained momentum after SP Setia Bhd started developing KL Eco City.
The link bridge was supposed to open last year before it was postponed to October this year, reported Hype MY.
