History

It used to be known as Guilemard Road. The road was constructed in the early 1960s.

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.

This four-level interchange was opened to traffic on 26 February 2007.
