KUALA LUMPUR: The right lane between Simpang Renggam and Sedenak, Johor at KM50.15 to KM46.5 of the North-South Expressway will be closed to all vehicles for four months from 11am today until April 4 next year.
PLUS Malaysia Berhad (PLUS) in a statement said the closure is to facilitate the installation of concrete median barriers to replace the current median steel guardrails to prevent cross bound incidents by heavy vehicles.
Throughout this period, traffic on the affected stretch will be redirected to the left and emergency lanes.
“All highway customers heading south are strongly advised to plan their journey using the PLUS App and check the traffic conditions via closed circuit television (CCTV) feeds, while adhering to traffic signages and instructions by PLUS personnel when passing through the said stretch,” the statement said.
With Christmas and New Year round the corner, PLUS Malaysia said highway users should plan their journeys ahead by following the Travel Time Advisory it issues.
Based on the advisory, highway customers from the Klang Valley heading towards destinations such as Perlis, Kedah, Penang, North Perak and Johor are advised to enter the highway before 9am.
Those heading to destinations closer to the Klang Valley or other states are advised to enter the highway after noon, while those from Perlis, Kedah, Penang, North Perak, Johor and other states travelling to the Klang Valley during the same period are recommended to enter the highway before 9am.
