If you frequently use SPRINT Highway for your commute, do take note that the highway will be closing several roads for the construction of a multi-level flyover by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) starting today until March next year. Hence, motorists using the highway are advised to use alternative routes.
According to Bernama, SPRINT Highway Communications Department head Shah Rizal Mohamed Fawzi announced that this involves road users from Petaling Jaya using the right lane to Jalan Maarof towards Bangsar at the Maarof intersection. Furthermore, the road closures also affect motorists from Petaling Jaya heading towards Kuala Lumpur via Pusat Bandar Damansara, which involves Jalan Johar, Jalan Beringin and Jalan Semantan.
Shah Rizal elaborated,
“The right lane for vehicles from Petaling Jaya to Jalan Maarof towards Bangsar at the Maarof intersection will be closed and vehicles will need to take a detour to the left via Jalan Johar-Jalan Beringin-Jalan Damanlela-Jalan Damansuria-SPRINT headed to Petaling Jaya and then to the right to the new flyover in front of the Pavilion project.”
“This traffic diversion is expected to ease traffic congestion during peak hours for vehicles from Petaling Jaya or the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) to Kuala Lumpur from the Maarof intersection to the Semantan intersection,”
Motorists are asked to cooperate and follow the instructions of the traffic diversion signs and use the suggested alternative routes. Here are the alternative routes that SPRINT highway users can take if their usual routes are affected:
- Damansara Link-Damansara Puchong Highway (LDP)-Penchala Link-Jalan Duta-Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim-Jalan Kuching
- Damansara Link-Kerinchi Link-Jalan Duta-Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim-Jalan Kuching
- Damansara Link-Kerinchi Link-Federal Highway Route 2 (FHR2)-Jalan Syed Putra-Jalan Kinabalu
- Damansara Link-Jalan Dato Abu Bakar-Jalan Universiti-FHR2-Jalan Syed Putra-Jalan Kinabalu
