The project, which will be undertaken through a build-operate-transfer privatization arrangement, will be 8.2 kilometres long and will connect Bandar Malaysia to the Sungai Besi Toll Plaza. The BSE will feature four interchanges and three ramps, providing access to several major highways including the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway, East-West Link Expressway, and the New Pantai Expressway. Upon completion, LSH Capital expects to generate around RM20 million in revenue from operations and maintenance during the first year.
