According to The Star Online, Persiaran Subang Permai in Subang Jaya will be partially closed for 8 weeks until the end of December 2015.
The partial road closure will affect more than 8,000 Subang Jaya residents, who are advised by Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh to make a detour via Jalan Subang 3 or Jalan Subang 2 to get to Jalan Subang Permai.
The road is partially closed to facilitate sewerage pipe works for YouOne, an upcoming mixed development project that is located on the same row as the Giant Hypermarket and Mydin on Persiaran Subang Permai.
Hannah told reporters at a press conference that the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) allowed the digging works to “take place on Monday to Saturday from 8am to 4pm and 10pm to 5:30am”. The 6-hour break was “for public safety and to help reduce traffic congestion during peak hours”.
She said:
The works will take up only one out of 2 lanes on this road but it will affect motorist coming from Mydin towards Regalia.
“Those who are driving into USJ1, passing Giant and Mydin can still use the road but it will be a long queue since only one lane will be operational,” she added.
MPSJ engineering department senior assistant director Mohd Razif Datuk Abdul Rahman told reporters at the press conference that the council will monitor the traffic situation closely.
He said:
We will be putting up cones to divert traffic and we will do our best to make sure that the roadworks do not take place more than allocated time.
Meanwhile, another road closure will be taking place “in the directions towards Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP) to Jalan Taman Tasik Prima, starting from Jalan Utama 2/7, Taman Maju Jaya to the Puchong Inter-change”.
The closure is to facilitate another road project that will “accommodate the stone column, peeling, and re-wall for the interchange construction on the LDP to Jalan Utama 2, Puchong Utama”.
Motorists are advised to use alternative routes to avoid traffic congestion as works will begin from midnight to 2nd December (Wednesday) at KM26.9 of the LDP.
