sMart Tunnel - Smart?l

(For full text with comments please click on the title)

There have been lots of discussions on the Smart Tunnel recently. It has been featured in Discovery Channel too for the world's one of a kind tunnel that acts as a traffic dispersion tunnel and also irrigation tunnel. Half of the tunnel is a drain and the upper half is for traffic. The whole tunnel can be used as a drain in the event of a flood.
After it has been launched, stream of vehicles are lining up to try the Smart Tunnel before the TOLL starts. Its kinda funny seeing people jam up to use the smart tunnel whereas the other road is clear.

Decided to give it a go to and here are something to share.


The long winding tunnel is packed with cars


Nicely lit up and be warned its distance is more than upstairs

The smart tunnel does help a lot in the jammed area of Jalan Tun Razak and City Center. Instead of 4 lanes, there are 2 more down there. One thing to take note. The journey down there is much longer in distance and lots of winding curves. It will not make any sense using it during non-peak hours and you need to Pay!
