The Kilometre Zero of the Federal Route 188 starts at Jalan Abu Bakar junctions near Dataran Bandaraya.

This 600 metre elevated section from Jalan Tebrau (Tebrau Highway) to Jalan Abdul Rahman Andak (named after Abdul Rahman Andak) comprises only one interchange, 25 metres high, roughly equivalent to a four-storey building.

It comprises four ground level traffic-lights controlled intersections with provisions for future dual or tri-level interchanges.

At most sections, the Federal Route 188 was built under the JKR R5 road standard, allowing maximum speed limit of up to 90 km/h.

A flyover on Tebrau Highway Interchange was constructed during the middle of 2006 and became operational to the public on 15 December 2007.
