Traffic diversions on major routes in Klang Valley for 58th Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting
KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic on three highways and 15 main roads in the Klang Valley will be diverted in stages from 8 to 11 July in conjunction with the 58th Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM) and Related Meetings at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).
Federal Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department director Datuk Seri Yusri Hassan Basri said the affected routes comprised roads into and out of the federal capital, as well as routes to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and hotels where delegates will be staying.
He said a dry run for the motorcade, covering routes from the airport to the respective hotels in Kuala Lumpur and the KLCC, would be conducted from today until Sunday involving 391 traffic personnel.
"Road users are advised to plan their journeys in advance and are encouraged to use public transport in support of the event.
