Here’s another reason to not step anywhere near KL city centre this weekend. In addition to the KL Standard Chartered Marathon 2025 – which will see road closures in the city and DUKE/AKLEH highways – the Le Tour De Langkawi (LtdL) 2025 cycling event’s final stage will end at KLCC.
The world’s top cycling teams will end their tour of Peninsular Malaysia at the foot of the Petronas Twin Towers (Petronas is the event’s title sponsor), and as such, roads around the iconic landmark will be closed to make way for the event.
Tomorrow night (October 4), two lanes of Jalan Ampang near KLCC (from Wisma Central to the Jalan P.Ramlee junction will be closed to traffic. The closure will be from 11.30 pm till 7am the following day (Sunday, October 5).
Sunday is race day as the 180.5 km final stage from Tangkak flows into the city. Jalan Ampang will be fully closed to traffic from the Jalan Tun Razak intersection to the Jalan P.Ramlee junction. This is from 1pm to 9pm. Also fully closed is the Jalan Ampang stretch between Jalan Yap Kwan Seng and Jalan Mayang, from 3.30 pm to 7pm.
While the LtdL road closures focus more on the roads approaching KLCC, the roads closed for KLSCM are more comprehensive as the full marathon’s 42.195 km route is basically a city tour plus a long slog of AKLEH and DUKE highways, before ending at Stadium Merdeka – full details on that one here. Basically, avoid KL city this weekend if you don’t have any essential business there.

so when will the klcc jalan ampang be closed at night for rempits race?
TunM old us to Look East so our rempits took inspiration from Initial D and the glory of street racing and trying to be the Keiichi Tsuchiya of Japanese kapcai. You can blame the Japanese for our rempit culture. They provided the bikes, they provided the idea.
LOLZ! So Le Tour bikers will ram into Stan Chart marathon runners also in KL this weekend?
With 2 major road events, expect KL roads total lockdown this week. Why can’t they plan one after another? Also stupid PH DBKL for approving 2 major events in the same week.
dbkl is a self governing entity latelys. they answer to no one not even the elected PH
DBKL is under federal authority. Who runs Federal states huh? USA kah?
on paper yes dbkl reports to federal minister. but in reality kl mayor runs the show . thats my understanding based on the latest new reports .
in the same way that FAM on paper reports to sports ministry but in reality FAM run their own show indepedently since they dont depends on budget from ministry.
DBKL lately had become a self governing entity, they dont even answer to PH elected government anymore.
DBKL reports to Federal Gomen Federal Territories Minister lah!
if you follows latest news trends updates, kl mayor actually runs the show.
