KUALA LUMPUR: Walkability in the city will get a huge boost when the Saloma Link, a new pedestrian bridge, opens at 2.30pm today. With the Saloma Link, there is now seamless pedestrian connectivity between the old and new parts of Kuala Lumpur. In an earlier interview with Bernama, PKB chief executive officer Zulkurnain Hassan said the Saloma Link stretches for 370m, but the span that crosses the highway and river is 69m long. The Saloma Link is an integral part of making the city more walkable. “With the bridge, it will take pedestrians about seven minutes to get from Jalan Saloma to Jalan Raja Muda Musa 3,” said Zulkurnain.
