Part of the route on Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah here will be closed for 45 days starting on Nov 16 to facilitate the Mutiara Line light rail transit (LRT) project, which involves tree-felling work in the area.
In a statement today, Malaysia Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) said that the long-term periodic closure in front of the Sunny Point-Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) field will be from 10 pm to 5 am daily until Dec 31.
“The closure will involve the leftmost lane between the Jalan Sungai Dua intersection and the USM field heading towards Komtar, and the leftmost lane between the Batu Uban Army Camp and Sunny Point heading towards Bayan Lepas.
“Next, the rightmost lane between Batu Uban Army Camp and the traffic light intersection in both directions will be closed, but other lanes will remain open,” according to the statement.
MRT Corp said that road users are advised to exercise caution when passing through the area, and added that signboards, traffic cones, and flag marshals will be stationed at the location to help facilitate traffic control and ensure the safety of vehicle users on that route.
