Sarawak traffic: Major junction closure set for overnight maintenance works

The junction connecting Jalan Lapangan Terbang to Lorong Lapangan Terbang 1 in Kuching will be closed to traffic from 10 p.m. on Aug 28 until 6 a.m. on Aug 29 to facilitate critical maintenance works in the area near the Voco Hotel.

The overnight closure is part of scheduled infrastructure improvement efforts aimed at enhancing road conditions and traffic flow in this congested commercial zone. Authorities have confirmed that the works are essential for the long-term functionality and safety of the junction.

Mottorists are strongly encouraged to identify alternative routes and avoid the area during the specified closure window. Traffic is expected to be heavy on surrounding roads, particularly during peak hours leading up to the maintenance window. Commuters relying on this corridor are advised to depart earlier or consider rerouting through nearby arterial roads.

Authorities have appealed for public cooperation and patience during the works. Further updates on traffic conditions and any extensions to the closure period will be announced if necessary. Drivers seeking real-time traffic information are encouraged to check local traffic updates before commencing their journeys.
