PETALING JAYA: UEM Sunrise Bhd has officially inaugurated the Gerbang Nusajaya Interchange, significantly enhancing direct access to the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link Expressway. This development is crucial for strengthening connectivity within Iskandar Puteri, a key growth node under Flagship B of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ).
The event was officiated by Johor State Housing and Local Government committee chairman Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor. Also present was Iskandar Puteri City Council (MBIP) mayor Hasrin Kamal Hashim, Johor economics and investment advisor Johor Datuk Seri Utama Hasni Mohammad, UEM Sunrise managing director and chief executive officer Shaharul Farez Hassan and Leisure Farm director Marc Lee.
Located at the western gateway of Iskandar Puteri and approximately five km from the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex, the interchange provides direct connectivity to the Second Link Expressway.
“The Gerbang Nusajaya Interchange is a key enabler for the township. It strengthens access to the Second Link Expressway, supports growing business activity under the JS-SEZ and improves mobility across not just our townships but also surrounding townships as Iskandar Puteri continues to mature,” said Shaharul Farez.
Jointly developed by UEM Sunrise’s subsidiary, Nusajaya Rise Sdn Bhd, in collaboration with Leisure Farm Corporation Sdn Bhd, the RM166.4mil project is anchored by a trumpet-design elevated interchange as its main feature, complemented by upgraded local road networks and improved ingress and egress routes around Gelang Patah and Gerbang Nusajaya.
The investment serves as a catalyst for economic, social and international connectivity in support of the JS-SEZ. The new interchange is aimed at easing traffic flow, improving road safety and enabling reliable travel times, including an estimated 15-minute commute to Tuas Checkpoint in Singapore. The interchange plays a critical role in reducing logistical friction, strengthening cross-border access and enhancing Johor’s competitiveness for investors, business and talent.
