Partial lane closures along Jalan Tun Dr Awang and Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim will be implemented from 20 August to 31 October to facilitate preliminary construction works for the Mutiara Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) project.
Malaysia Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) said the 72-day closures will take place daily from 8.30am to 4.30pm for drainage and road widening works under Package CMC1.
The affected lanes include the right lane of Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim near the Sri Relau Complex heading towards Komtar, the left lane from shop lots near SJK (C) Min Sin to Penang Golf Club and lanes at the Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim-Jalan Tun Dr Awang intersection.

MRT Corp said signboards, traffic cones and flagmen will be deployed to manage traffic and ensure road users’ safety.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution and follow directional signage during the closure period.
