SUKE deputy general manager, Zarulazam Eusofe said the lanes will be closed between the Persiaran Mewah junction Sungai Besi town to enable the construction of 11 poles, concrete works and installation of parapet walls across the MRR2.

Traffic will be diverted into the Ulu Klang-bound side of the Middle Ring Road as a contraflow.

“The closure of the lanes and the contraflow routes are important to ensure a safe distance for highway users from the construction site.

“It is also to prevent any untoward incident to MRR2 users. Throughout the construction period, both the U-overhead lanes near the Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) and three lanes at the Sungai Besi Bound (SBB) will be closed to traffic.

“The two-lane contraflow will be from the direction of Ulu Kelang while the traffic flow towards Ulu Kelang will be diverted through the exit at TBS. For the second phase, which is scheduled from Dec 1 to Feb 28, 2022, the two contraflow lanes will be converted into one lane,” he said in a statement today.

Those heading towards Ulu Kelang from the Shah Alam Expressway (Kesas) are advised to use alternative routes such as the E516, from Sri Petaling heading towards Kuala Lumpur.

Zarulazam said SUKE and project developer, MRCB Builders Sdn Bhd will adhere to the guidelines set by the ministry of international trade and industry (Miti) and the health ministry during construction work under Phase 1 of the national recovery plan.

“The work is being carried out after obtaining approval from the Malaysian Highway Authority and public works department,” he said while urging the public to plan their journey ahead to avoid congestion.
