Jalan Kinabalu, Kuala LumpurJalan Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur (2 January, 2010)


Jalan Kinabalu is a main road that passes through the heart of Kuala Lumpur. It is part of Federal Route 1. It connects with Jalan Kuching in the north and Jalan Maharajalela in the south. As with Jalan Kuching, it was named after the capital of the East Malaysia state, as a means of welcoming the two states into the newly formed federation of Malaysia in 1963.

Jalan Kinabalu is the first flyover road in the country. Construction began in 1963, and the road was completed in 1965. According to Kuala Lumpur Street Names1, it was the highest elevation in Kuala Lumpur at the time of its completion, and was meant to represent Mount Kinabalu being the tallest peak in the region.

Before there was Jalan Kinabalu, there was a road that entered the Merdeka roundabout, where Jalan Kinabalu presently is located. That road was known as the Old River Road. The road has since been expunged.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
