During the construction of the Bandar Mahkota Cheras, an access road connecting the new township and the Bandar Tun Hussein Onn Interchange was built by the developer to provide access to Bandar Mahkota Cheras from Cheras - Kajang Expressway and vice versa.
Following Opposition control of Selangor in the 2008 election, local residents dismantled the barricades, temporarily allowing traffic to and from the township to directly enter and exit the expressway.
