KUALA LUMPUR: The MRT3 line will be up for tender as soon as August, once the Cabinet clears the details of this massive urban public transport project that will connect all the existing urban rail lines in the Klang Valley.
Also known as the Circle Line, this third MRT line will play the crucial role of cutting short the distance for those who need to transfer between the MRT lines (Kajang and the upcoming Putrajaya), the LRT line (Kelana Jaya, Ampang/ Sri Petaling), as well as the KTMB Komuter lines.
Last week, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said the project would commence in the second half of the year following the government’s approval of Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRT Corp) as the project owner of the national infrastructure.
