SEVERAL ROADS LEADING TO JB CITY CENTRE TO CLOSE FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY FOR RTS CONSTRUCTION WORK

JOHOR BARU: Several roads leading to the Johor Baru city centre will be temporarily closed from Monday (May 6, 2024) until Friday (May 10, 2024).

The closure will take place from midnight on Monday until 11.59pm on Firday to make way for the construction of the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project.

The affected roads are Jalan Tebrau to the city centre and Jalan Tun Abdul Razak (in front of Fella Design Furniture outlet) to Jalan Tebrau.

“The roads will be fully closed in both directions to facilitate the installation work of the beams for the project,’’ the Johor Baru South police district headquarters said in a statement Saturday (May 4).

It said among the roads affected by the closure include the exit from Jalan Wong Ah Fook in downtown Johor Baru to Jalan Tebrau, which will be diverted to Jalan Tun Abdul Razak.

Meanwhile, motorists travelling from Jalan Tebrau to Jalan Stesen (JB Sentral) will be redirected to Jalan Lingkaran Dalam, the statement said.

"Those going to JB Sentral can use Jalan Tun Razak as the main route to reach JB Sentral," it added.

Road users are advised to be patient for the inconveniences and difficulties that they will be experiencing and obey the instructions given by the police as well as the traffic supervisors of the project.

“We will always monitor the situation at the location to disperse traffic congestion that is expected to take place following the closure,’’ said the statement.
