cheras kajang mrt road closure dec 2015

MMC-Gamuda has announced that the Cheras-Kajang highway will be closed for 14 nights from December 15-30 to facilitate the painting of pier 55 to pier 57 of the segmental box girder in the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) construction in the area.

The road closure will take effect from 11 pm to 6 am daily, and affect both Kuala Lumpur-bound and Kajang-bound parts of the highway. The Kajang-bound closure will consist of a 200 metre stretch at KM 18 on the highway.

During this closure, two lanes will be made available to motorists from Kuala Lumpur to Kajang. Alternatively, motorists may take the slip road to Bukit Dukung/Taman Koperasi Cuepacs and use Jalan Cheras Lama to get to Kajang.

The KL-bound road closure will affect 400 metres of the highway from KM 18.2 to KM 17.8. Motorists from Kajang heading towards KL can turn into the slip road to Jalan Kampung Bukit Dukung and turn left to join back on the Grandsaga Highway to head towards KL.
