KUALA LUMPU: Visitors to the iconic Menara Merdeka 118 skyscraper here now have a smoother, more efficient route into the venue with the official opening of the Belfield Tunnel.
The tunnel provides easy access to Menara Merdeka 118, the world’s second-tallest tower, while easing congestion on key city roads.
The tunnel is built by PNB Merdeka Ventures Sdn Berhad, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Permodalan Nasional Berhad.
Spanning just over one kilometre, the Belfield Tunnel is Malaysia’s second two-storey tunnel,
designed exclusively for vehicles travelling to and from Merdeka 118.
It provides an alternative entry and exit point, improving traffic flow and reducing congestion in the city centre.
Merdeka 118 has parking bays for up to 8,000 cars.
"We look forward to welcoming people from all walks of life, from business professionals to shoppers and tourists to experience all that Merdeka 118 has to offer once we are fully open,” said PNB Merdeka Ventures chief executive officer Datuk Tengku Abdul Aziz Tengku Mahmud.
The Belfield Tunnel can be reached via two entry points namely, Jalan Syed Putra and Jalan Damansara, leading vehicles directly into basement car park 4 of Menara Merdeka 118 .
For departures, vehicles exit from basement car park 5 through two designated exits namely, Jalan Syed Putra and Jalan Istana.
The tunnel also serves visitors to Malaysia’s only Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur hotel and 118 Mall, set to open in Q2 2025 and Q2 2026 respectively.
