KUALA LUMPUR: A number of roads in the city, especially around Dataran Merdeka, will be closed in stages starting from 6am tomorrow and on Sunday, in conjunction with the Tour of Langkawi (LTdL) cycling race.

City Traffic Chief ACP Ruslin Mohd Noor said the closure of roads was necessary to allow riders to use the roads during the race since the last two stages would involve roads in the city.

“Roads that will be closed in stages tomorrow are Jalan Ampang, Jalan Jelatek, Jalan Setiawangsa, Jalan Kilang, Jalan Genting Klang, Jalan Taman Ibu Kota and Jalan Gombak,” he told reporters after a briefing on traffic for the LTdL here yesterday.

On Sunday, roads around Dataran Merdeka would be closed in stages starting from 6am, especially Jalan Ampang, Jalan Kepong, Jalan Ipoh, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Jalan Raja (Dataran Merdeka), Jalan Raja Chulan, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan P. Ramlee, Jalan Pinang and Jalan Ampang.

The LTdL’s sixth and penultimate stage from Putrajaya-Genting Highlands would involve a distance of 102.8km while the seventh and final stage will be a 133.7km ride from Kuala Kubu Baru to Kuala Lumpur. — Bernama
