Here’s another update from highway concessionaire Prolintas regarding the Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE), and this involves junction closures taking place from tomorrow. Two junctions leading to the highway from Elmina will be closed for three months beginning April 27 for a duration of three months in an effort to enhance traffic flow in the area, Prolintas said in a statement.
The closures involve the junctions for the path from Elmina East heading towards Rawang, and the path from Elmina West heading towards Shah Alam, both on the GCE. Upon taking effect, the closures mean that motorists are advised to make a U-turn at the roundabouts to reach the ramps for both directions of travel, towards Rawang or Shah Alam, respectively.
These will be trial closures for the three-month duration until July 26, and the junction closures will become permanent should the trial successfully solve congestion at the location, Prolintas stated. The highway operator has found that motorists’ use of the junction have impacted traffic flow and caused heavy congestion at the location, especially during peak hours.

The engineer who designed this junction should be fired
The engineer who decided this roundabout way should be fired. The junction was perfectly fine they just need to lengthen the traffic light timing. That is soooo simple to do but they want to make it difficult. Real stupid this gomen, no brains.
Comment also no use you think any action be taken? Invonvenience the road user whonpay tol
The two junctions do not have traffic lights. Initially, the traffic was okay for the Elmina area. However, when the influx of traffic from neighboring areas to escape the Elmina toll along GCE increased, it became a nightmare.
Genius idea from whoever in Prolintas. It just move the jam from point A to point B. It makes the matter worse by limiting people going Sg.Buloh from Elmina Garden exit since the roundabout road is limited to 2. Please fix it
