After being suspended a year later before reopening on 15 September 1991, toll charges reduced by 50 percent from the usual RM1.

After many complaints and traffic jams, the toll plaza was abolished on 14 September 2003 and replaced by Taman Midah MRT station on 17 July 2017.

Today, the highway is maintained by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).

Due to the congestion on the Cheras Highway, two projects were led by the DBKL.

The Sungai Buloh–Kajang MRT line runs along much of the highway, starting from Taman Pertama MRT station, past the Taman Connaught interchange and along the Cheras-Kajang Expressway to Kajang.
