It also forms part of the Government planned KL Outer Ring Road (KLORR) which commences from north of Templer Park to Assam Jawa town in the District of Kuala Selangor.
It is expected with the construction of the expressway it would provide immediate benefits to the local communities and would also create job opportunities in the surrounding areas including Kuala Selangor and Gombak district especially in the foos businesses, the supply of materials for the road maintenance works and other services.
It is also expected that the demands for residential and offices units would increase with the additional in flow of construction workers and the new residents in the nearby townships.
