The road used to have a level crossing with the Sentul–Batu Caves railway branch line. As part of the KTM railway double-tracking and electrification project, and the extension of the KTM Komuter service to Batu Caves, the level crossing was eliminated by building a spiral bridge across the railway. Construction began in 2007 and was completed in 2009.
