Jalan Sungai Besi leading to Sungai Besi/Petaling Jaya (opposite Fraser Business Park) and Loke Yew Roundabout will be closed to all traffic in stages from 30 Sept until 29 Sept 2024.
Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) in a statement today said the road closure was aimed at enabling the widening, renovation and construction of the bridge at Loke Yew Roundabout to be carried out.
“The DBKL administration has appointed Tetuan Pertama Makmur Sdn Bhd to carry out the construction works for the widening of Jalan Yew which started in October 2021 and is expected to be completed on 31 Dec 2025, and the construction works are actively being carried out at the site,” according to the statement today.
Accordingly, road users can use some of the traffic diversions provided.
Traffic from the Kampung Pandan Roundabout to Sungai Besi/ Petaling Jaya will be diverted into two sections, one route through the road next to Federal Bakery and one route entering the counter lane in the adjacent lane.
Traffic from Sungai Besi/Petaling Jaya to Kampung Pandan Roundabout will be diverted into two parts, one route will turn left through Loke Yew Roundabout and one route will remain on the same alignment.
Traffic users of Jalan Loke Yew from Cheras are allowed to make a U-turn only heading Jalan Loke Yew towards Cheras again and this modification of the traffic route is permanent.
Alternative traffic routes from Cheras to Jalan Sungai besi are via Jalan Chan Sow Lin, Jalan One, Jalan Dua and Jalan Tiga.
For traffic coming from Cheras and heading to Jalan Yew should use a U-turn at the flyover intersection on Jalan Maharajalela and this is also the same for traffic coming from Cheras and heading to the surrounding area of Jalan Yew.
Jalan Loke Yew traffic from Jalan Kinabalu and Jalan Sungai Besi will be diverted to Jalan Yew towards Pudu Roundabout only. The alternative route is through the U-turn at Sekolaah Menengah Kebangsaan (P) Pudu and this traffic route modification also remains.
Therefore, DBKL advises all road users to obey the signs and traffic police instructions as a guide and safety measure to avoid any confusion and inconvenience.
