Good news to the residents of Tropicana Golf & Country Resort and Tropicana Indah Resort Homes.

The new second NKVE tunnel project to Tropicana Golf & Country Resort and Tropicana Indah Resort Homes at Persiaran Tropicana was completed and opened to the public around end of July 2009. The opening of the second tunnel will definitely improve the traffic flow of the surrounding area.

Both tunnels are used to gain access to and from Tropicana, Tropicana Indah Resort Homes (formerly known as Damansara Indah Resort Homes), Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP), Bandar Utama (BU 11) and Bukit Mayang Mas.

According to Datuk Bandar of Petaling Jaya City Council or Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya (MBPJ) Mohamad Roslan Sakiman and consulting engineers from Zaidun-Leeng Sdn Bhd Anuar Mohd Idris, the second tunnel will be able to cope with flood or stagnant water as it is built with the anti-flood system; using pipes and special drains to disperse the trapped or stagnant water during heavy downpour.

The contactor responsible of building this project, Majulia Sdn Bhd also added that the project was delayed due to various problems particularly the technical issues relating to the design and building techniques of the tunnel.
