Recently, netizens noticed what seemed to be cracks on the flyover structure at Jalan Cheras, sparking concerns about potential widening or deterioration.

Responding to these concerns, Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi announced plans to install a monitoring device on the said flyover to ensure the structure’s safety by detecting any signs of movement or further deterioration.

The so-called cracks aren’t cracks!

Alexander Nanta Linggi took to his Facebook to respond to the uproar about the alleged cracks at the Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway (SPE) flyover on Jalan Cheras. Concerned by the issue, he came back to Kuala Lumpur to see the situation for himself.

“Accompanied by the Ministry of Works (KKR) team, Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM), and the SPE highway concession company, I climbed a 16.1-meter-high crane to closely examine the flyover pillar in question,” he shared.

He continued to assure that after examining the so-called cracks, the concession company and accompanying professional engineers have confirmed that there are no cracks in the pillar.

The route is still safe to use

However, Alexander has directed for a ‘crack monitoring meter’ to be installed on the involved pillar to monitor any movement or cracks. This device will be installed for a month to monitor the condition of the flyover pillar, and reports will be prepared by LLM.

He then shared how, in line with the MYJalan spirit supported by KKR, he hopes the community will continue to collaborate with them as the eyes and ears to bring attention to any issues regarding damage to public infrastructure.

“I assure all road users that this route is safe to use. I would also like to thank the public for raising these concerns. As I always emphasise, there’s no compromising on the safety of the people.”
