The actual part connecting Bandar Tasik Puteri to LATAR Highway...

OK. About 4 months ago I've made an article called The part that should connect Bandar Tasik Puteri to the LATAR Highway and show pictures as per the subject. Later I've learned that the part that connects the residential area to the highway actually lies at a different point.

Today after Friday prayers I decided to check out the point. Riding my trusty big bike to a part of Bandar Tasik Puteri I found a gravel road (seen in the picture) and  followed it up to an uncompleted junction.

Turning a bit anti-clockwise one could see a row of houses.

Turning more until making a right angle from the previous gravel road one could see another gravel connection. Let me mark this as Exhibit 1.

Turning another 90 degrees anti-clockwise and one could see a mostly red-earth road which actually leads to the part which I previously thought is where Bandar Tasik Puteri would be connected to the LATAR highway.

You see, all three roads converge into this junction. Ahead one could see the LATAR Highway...

Zooming in.

Looking at the landscape closer I could now better see how Bandar Tasik Puteri would be connected to the highway. The problem I understand lies in land acquisation. It is said the owners of the plantation have put a hefty unreasonable price knowing how much the piece of land ahead is valuable to both the developers of Bandar Tasik Puteri and operators of Latar Highway. I could surmiss... apart from land acquisation there is a tussle as to who should foot the bill and how. After all building a connecting road across what looks like marshland with a number of streams is also costly.

What is sure the connection would benefit tens of thousands of residents of Bandar Tasik Puteri. It could VERY significantly cut time travelling to many places especially to Rawang and Kuala Lumpur. Seen here is the part of the residential area after I took the road shown in Exhibit 1 till the end. This is the portion residents pass by daily.

This satellite image should put things in better persective, never mind it's an old image before LATAR Highway was even completed. Point A is where I previously thought Bandar Tasik Puteri and the highway should be connected as shown in the article The part that should connect Bandar Tasik Puteri to the LATAR Highway. Point B is where 3 roads, 2 gravel 1 red earth merge before connecting to the highway. And point C is where I came out as shown in the previous picture. Enough.
