Gua Musang Main Routes Closed For A Month For Lingkaran Tengah Project

The main entrance to Gua Musang is expected to be extremely congested because two roads were closed for a month beginning yesterday for the installation of bridge piles for the Lingkaran Tengah Utama Project (LTU).

According to JKR Jajahan Gua Musang, the route from FT2747 KM3.9 (Simpang Hospital) to KM2.4 (Taman Damar Bridge) and FT2745 KM0.8 (Under the Taman Damar Flyover) will be closed to all traffic in both directions. JKR went on to say that the road closure will last from March 29 to April 29 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. "Road users can take FT008 through the front of Gua Musang District Police Headquarters (IPD), FT 2744 (in front of Gua Musang Hospital), and FT2746." (Jalan Pulai).

JKR's road closure has not been the most pleasant of actions, prompting Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Galas, Mohd. Syahbuddin Hashim, to express his displeasure. He hopes that the road closure can be postponed temporarily because it will make it difficult for the local community to move, especially at the end of Ramadan as things ramp up towards Hari Raya.

When completed, the Lingkaran Tengah Utama (LTU) project will reduce travel time from Kuala Lumpur to Kelantan to 3 hours. It is scheduled to be finished in 2024.
