JOHOR BAHRU, May 16 (Bernama) -- Several temporary road closures and diversions around key intersections in the city have been implemented since Thursday to facilitate the EDL Expressway Interchange Upgrade Project involving the Inner Ring Road and Jalan Tebrau.

The Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) said in a statement that the closures and diversions involved two main locations, namely the Jalan Lingkaran Dalam/Jalan Tebrau intersection and the Jalan Lingkaran Dalam/Jalan Tun Abdul Razak intersection.

Based on the traffic plan issued, the diversions involve traffic flow along Jalan Lingkaran Dalam from Dataran Bandaraya to Menara MBJB and the city centre, as well as from Stulang Laut to Kota Tinggi.
