This is causing massive traffic congestion in the morning along the stretch of Jalan Kuala Selangor between Kepong and Sungei Buloh. Anyone living in Damansara Damai, Permai Damansara, etc. need to add 1 hour to their expected commute time if they normally leave about 7AM – 8AM.
I experienced it this morning. Where is the info from MRT and where is the communications to affected residents? I was stuck for 1 hour trying to reach the highway, and this is to continue until July 31?? Come on!
