Commuters Advised to Use Alternative Routes or Public Transport During National Day Road Closures

Commuters planning to visit the city centre between Saturday and next Wednesday (August 31) are advised to utilise alternative routes or public transportation due to phased road closures. These closures are in effect from 6am to 1pm daily, coinciding with rehearsals and the main National Day celebration at Dataran Merdeka.
Phased Road Closures Affecting Major Routes

A significant number of major roads in Kuala Lumpur will experience closures in stages. These include sections of Jalan Travers/Jalan Damansara, Jalan Mahameru/Jalan Damansara, Jalan Lembah/Jalan Perdana, and the Hishamuddin Roundabout, among others. The closures are specifically timed to facilitate the National Day events scheduled at Dataran Merdeka.
Restricted Access to Dataran Merdeka

Access to Dataran Merdeka will be limited during the closure periods. Only vehicles possessing special stickers will be permitted to enter the area via the Dato’ Onn Roundabout, proceeding towards Jalan Gereja. These authorised vehicles will also be able to park in the square’s basement parking facility.
Increased Police Presence and Public Guidance

Approximately 150 traffic policemen will be deployed on August 31 to manage the situation and assist the public. Commuters intending to travel into the city centre are strongly encouraged by authorities to seek out alternative routes or opt for public transportation to avoid disruptions caused by the road closures.
