Almost 76,000 Vehicles Use Duke Daily

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 22 (Bernama) -- The Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway (Duke), the link that connects Jalan Duta and Ulu Klang, recorded an average of 75,990 vehicles a day since it was opened last May.

Konsortium Lebuhraya Utara Timur Sdn Bhd managing director Datuk Haris Onn Hussein said the volume of the traffic showed that most road users preferred to use Duke to save time and to avoid traffic congestion in the city.

"To date, all routes on Duke do not face any traffic congestion although the traffic volume increased every month since it was opened," he told reporters after launching the Dukethon run here, on Sunday.

More than 2,000 participants took part in the five-kilometre run which started at the Batu toll plaza of the highway.
