Traffic diversion in PJ
By TAN KARR WEI
THERE will be a major traffic diversion in the Jalan Universiti area in Petaling Jaya starting next month.
Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) engineering department director Ismail Shafie said besides Jalan Universiti, the other roads affected were Jalan Dato Abu Bakar, Jalan 17/1, Jalan 16/6, Jalan 16/4 and Jalan 16/10.
The project to relocate 1.6km of 1.8m diameter water pipes under the Jalan Universiti flyover was undertaken by the Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry.
According to the announcement published on the ministry website, the purpose of the project was to prevent damages on the flyover and ramp structures in the event of a pipe burst.
Affected areas: Major work to relocate water pipes along Jalan Universiti is expected to commence in early November. Bukit Gasing assemblyman Edward Lee expressed gratitude that sufficient funds had been provided by the Federal Government to carry out the project to ensure the safety of motorists using the flyover.
Ismail said the project was expected to start next month and completed in May next year.
He said the final details of the road diversion would be announced after the MBPJ traffic committee meeting on Oct 22.
The ministry’s website stated that Jalan 16/6 and Jalan Dato Abu Bakar would be partly closed while Jalan 16/4 and Jalan 16/10 would be fully closed.
Details on the road diversion is available on http://www.jba.gov.my/files/pamphlet%20b12_300909.pdf.
Lee said the authorities would provide information to affected residents and regular road users through leaflets and billboards to indicate alternative routes.
