Get direct access to Merdeka 118 via the new Belfield Tunnel

• The Belfield Tunnel is Malaysia’s second two-storey tunnel, designed for vehicles traveling to and from Merdeka 118.

KUALA LUMPUR (March 12): Visitors to Merdeka 118 now have a smoother, more efficient route into the precinct with the opening of the Belfield Tunnel, an infrastructure project by PNB Merdeka Ventures Sdn Bhd (PMVSB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB). This enhances connectivity to Menara Merdeka 118, the world’s second-tallest tower, while easing congestion on key city roads.

Spanning just over one kilometer, the Belfield Tunnel is Malaysia’s second two-storey tunnel, designed for vehicles traveling to and from Merdeka 118. It provides an alternative entry and exit point, improving traffic flow and reducing congestion in the city centre.

The Belfield Tunnel can be accessed via two entry points: 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.

This strategic access aims to ease congestion on key city roads and improve traffic flow in the surrounding areas, particularly reducing traffic buildup around the Merdeka 118 precinct at Jalan Hang Jebat, Jalan Hang Tuah, and Jalan Maharajalela.

The tunnel will also serve visitors to Malaysia’s only Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur and 118 Mall, set to open in 2Q2025 and 2Q2026 respectively.

“We are pleased to open the Belfield Tunnel, a vital link that will make visiting Merdeka 118 and its surrounding landmarks, including Stadium Merdeka, more convenient than ever.

“Our goal is to provide a seamless and stress-free journey into the city, ensuring easier access for everyone. With ample parking 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 chief executive officer of PMVSB, Datuk Tengku Ab. Aziz Tengku Mahmud.
