Petaling Jaya Dispersal Link Expressway

The Petaling Jaya Dispersal Link Expressway (PDLE) (formerly Kinrara–Damansara Expressway (KIDEX) or KIDEX Skyway) was a new expressway under planning in Klang Valley, Malaysia. The 14.9 km expressway connects the Damansara–NKVE Interchange of the New Klang Valley Expressway in the north to Bandar Kinrara in the south. The new expressway was claimed to reduce travelling time between Damansara and Kinrara by about 25%, and reduce traffic volume by 5% in both directions from Puchong to Petaling Jaya. On 16 February 2015, after several protests by the local residents, the KIDEX Skyway project was cancelled by the Selangor State Government. On 2018, the project is revived as Petaling Jaya Dispersal Link Expressway. In 2023, the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) has opened an investigation into improper submission of Social Impact Assessment (SIA). In 2024, Government cancelled due to deadline.

Route
The expressway was planned to start near the Damansara-NKVE Interchange of the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE). It would have run elevated above the SPRINT highway until swinging right at Damansara Intan. It would have cut through section 17, past Jasmine Towers and SS2 mall, before running (still elevated) above the entire length of Jalan Semangat. At the end of Jalan Semangat at the junction of Jalan Utara the highway would have split.

The southern carriageway would have passed the Sri Petaling and Bukit Bintang Boys School, and run elevated above Jalan Utara. An off ramp would have fed the traffic destined for the Federal Highway, Petaling Jaya State or University Hospital into Jalan Utara, before the Ehsan Ria Condominium. The elevated road would have continued past Amcorp Mall and around PJ State until rejoining the northern carriageway near the Section 8 police station. From Section 8 PJ the proposed highway headed south through Section 4 and Old Town PJ south, crossing the NPE and KESAS highways before ending at Bandar Kinrara 2.
