History

The road was constructed in the early 1960s, and initially named Guillemard Road after Laurence Guillemard, a British colonial officer.

On 26 November 2014, the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) changed the name of Jalan Duta to Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim. There was public opposition to the renaming, as Jalan Duta was a well-established name and the name change went against the common policy of not naming roads after living public figures, but despite this the government went ahead with the renaming.

Segambut roundabout interchange

The Segambut roundabout has been upgraded into four-level interchange. It was constructed between 2004 and 2006. The project was led by Malaysian Public Works Department (JKR), Kuala Lumpur City Hall and the main contractor Ahmad Zaki Resources Berhad (AZRB). This four-level interchange was opened to traffic on 26 February 2007.

Interchange to the new Istana Negara

Meanwhile, the interchange to the new Istana Negara was constructed in 2007 and was completed in 2011.
