Shortcut from Kelana Jaya Federal Highway and Sunway

The junction at the "Penang Bridge" which is the normal exit route from Kelana Jaya to the Federal Highway is usually jammed. Further, if you are coming from Kelana Jaya along the LDP highway, you are not allowed to proceed to Sunway, but must exit to the Federal Highway towards Klang, get into Subang Jaya, then make a very large U turn back to Sunway.

Now there is a short cut from Kelana Jaya via Jalan SS8/2 along Sungei Way Free Trade Zone. Along LDP highway, at Western Digital, turn into the Road SS8/2 leading to the Sungei Way Free Trade Zone (map below, click on map to enlarge it):

You will reach a junction which will turn left into the Sungei Way Free Trade Zone. There will be a traffic light here. Instead of turning left into the Sungei Way Free Trade Zone, proceed straight (refer to photo below):

As you proceed further from that junction, you will come to a fork in the road (refer to photo below):

Entry and exit to Federal Highway from Sungei Way Free Trade Zone
Note: There is a mistake in the labeling in the above photo. The left fork will not lead to the Federal Highway heading towards Kuala Lumpur, only to Sunway and Sunway Pyramid


If you want to go to Subang Jaya or Shah Alam or Klang, take the right fork which will exit to the Federal Highway heading towards Klang.

If you want to go to Sunway, take the left fork. This road will lead you past Nanyang Siang Pow, past FireFighter, Proton, then to the traffic light at the "Penang Bridge". Turn left at the traffic light and you will be proceeding to Sunway and Sunway Pyramid.
