KUALA LUMPUR: Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) has announced that traffic in Jalan Kelab (in front of Kajang Stadium) will be realigned for a stretch of 200 metres from tomorrow until June 17, 2016. (Refer to Map 1)

Traffic entering Jalan Kelab will be diverted to a newly paved lane. Some of the parking bays in front of the stadium have been taken up and a new parking area has been constructed in front of Muzium Sate.

The realignment is to facilitate preparation works for the construction of MRT piers and Bandar Kajang MRT Station.

MRT Corp also announced that the temporary partial night lane closure in Jalan Cheras (in both directions near Cheras Sentral/Plaza Phoenix), from 10pm to 5am daily, has been extended to Sept 30.

This is to facilitate the demolition of the pedestrian bridge in front of Cheras Sentral in preparation for the construction of MRT piers and Plaza Phoenix MRT station.

The traffic will be stopped for 10 minutes, in both directions, during the lifting of the bridge to ensure the safety of road users.

MRT Corp said there would be a temporary night road closure in Jalan Kamuning and Jalan Delima, off Jalan Tun Razak, from tomorrow until Oct 17, from 10pm to 6am daily.

This is to facilitate the delivery and off-loading of tunnel boring machine components to the MRT construction site in Jalan Kamuning.

Motorists are reminded to drive carefully near MRT worksites and follow directional signs.

Safety barriers, hoardings and traffic cones will be installed at the work sites to ensure that road users and pedestrians are informed of ongoing works. A 24-hour MRT Ronda will be patrolling the routes to attend to emergencies.
