Late 1980s: Plans to develop Bandar Utama approved

1992: Tropicana Golf & Country Resort (TGCR) developed

April 1993: Agreement signed between Dijaya Corporation and Bandar Utama to use the land belonging to Bandar Utama as a temporary access to the Tropicana development. Once the permanent access road was completed, the land should be handed back to Bandar Utama. Both parties entered into an agreement to jointly build the overhead bridge linking the northern and southern developments of Bandar Utama. TGCR contributed 25% to the bridge and eastern ramps; bore 100% of the cost for the western ramps, traffic lights and northern and southern access points and paid for the right of way to PLUS.

1996: The bridge and the access points were completed and opened to the public
January 1997: Bandar Utama completed its portion of the permanent access road via BU 11.

2006: The western ramp (giving direct access from Bandar Utama onto the NKVE) was closed. Traffic from Bandar Utama heading towards the NKVE now have to make a U-Turn under the Kg Kayu Ara flyover

2008: Following an increase in traffic and complaints from the public, MBPJ widened the Lebuh Bandar Utama bridge
