KUALA LUMPUR: TA Global has officially opened the Damansara Avenue Link  Bridge, marking the completion of a 320-metre elevated pedestrian walkway linking Sri  Damansara Sentral MRT Station to Damansara Avenue.

Officiated by Petaling  Jaya City Council (MBPJ) mayor Datuk Mohamad Zahri Samingon, the opening of the link bridge marks another significant step toward strengthening a more efficient and inclusive urban mobility network in Petaling Jaya.

"Initiatives like this not only improve access to public transport but also support our efforts in creating a more sustainable, pedestrian-friendly and transit-oriented urban environment. MBPJ greatly welcomes close collaboration with the private sector, such as TA Global, in delivering infrastructure development that directly benefits the well-being of the community,” said Zahri. 

As part of its initial phase, the link bridge will serve pedestrian access only. This opening improves connectivity within Damansara Avenue and enhances access to the MRT, providing greater convenience for commuters and residents while supporting a more walkable, transit-oriented environment. 

The RM18mil project features a covered pedestrian walkway leading to the MRT link bridge, offering a sheltered, comfortable route for foot traffic and ensuring a seamless last-mile journey, pointed out TA Enterprise managing director Datin Alicia Tiah.

“The Damansara Avenue Link Bridge marks an important milestone in our ambition to create a more seamless and connected Damansara Avenue. It strengthens the relationship between public transit and the surrounding urban environment, enabling greater ease of movement for the local community,” said Tiah. “This  demonstrates our commitment as a master developer to deliver integrated environments that  enhance quality of life through improved accessibility, connectivity and everyday  convenience.” 

The connectivity strengthens mobility throughout the wider precinct and its surrounding neighbourhoods. The bridge’s operations will further expand in subsequent phases as Damansara Avenue continues to develop and its internal road network matures. 

The infrastructure connects directly to the citywide public transport network. As part of the MRT Putrajaya Line, the Sri Damansara Sentral station provides direct access to key destinations across Greater Kuala Lumpur, including Ampang Park, Persiaran KLCC, the Tun  Razak Exchange, Serdang, Cyberjaya and Putrajaya. It also links to the Sungai Buloh interchange, enabling smooth transfers to the MRT Kajang Line and across the Klang Valley, said TA Global chief operating officer Lee Yen Foong. 

The strong regional connectivity reflects the broader vision for Damansara Avenue, a 48-acre  award-winning mixed-use masterplan, he pointed out during a short presentation on the masterplan.

It actively supports Ativo Annexe, a key 15-acre phase within the development with a gross development value of RM3bil. This phase brings together residential, commercial, hospitality, retail and wellness components within a cohesive ecosystem. The pedestrian network is also planned to extend towards DA Central Mall upon its completion in 2028, further strengthening Damansara Avenue’s position as a fully integrated, transit-oriented destination.

The construction of the bridge spanned 18 months, crossing intersections of major arterial routes, including the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP), Jalan Kuala Selangor and the Duta– Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE) "TA Global will maintain the bridge going forward, ensuring it remains a reliable, well-maintained public asset for years to come," Lee told StarProperty. 

“A link bridge like this goes beyond convenience. It improves access, makes the journey smoother and encourages greater use of public transport in everyday life. This leads to reduced congestion, more efficient movement across the city and a more sustainable urban environment. It is how infrastructure becomes a value multiplier, creating impact beyond its immediate footprint. Ultimately, what we are building goes beyond infrastructure. It is about enhancing mobility and enriching the communities we serve,” said MRT Corp business chief and chief financial officer Shahrin Imran.

Also present at the opening ceremony were Bukit LanjanAssemblywoman Pua Pei Ling, TA Global executive director Kimmy Khoo and Zone 1 MBPJ councillor Suriase Gengiah.
