Several major roads and highways in Kuala Lumpur will be closed in stages from Oct 26 to 28 for the 47th ASEAN Summit.
The Kuala Lumpur Command and Control Centre (KLC3) said the closures will take place periodically, each lasting about 30 to 45 minutes, to allow official convoys to move smoothly throughout the summit.
Among the main roads affected around the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) area are Jalan Ampang, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan P. Ramlee, Jalan Pinang, Jalan Binjai, Persiaran KLCC, Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Parlimen, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Jalan Imbi, Jalan Damansara, Jalan Istana, Jalan Kuching and Jalan Perak.
Key intersections expected to be impacted include:
Jalan Ampang–Jalan P. RamleeJalan Sultan Ismail–Jalan P. RamleeJalan Perak–Jalan P. RamleeJalan Perak–Jalan PinangJalan Stonor–Jalan Kia PengJalan Stonor–Persiaran KLCC
Additionally, routes from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Subang to the city centre, as well as the Putrajaya Ring Road and KLIA Highway, will also see temporary closures to make way for official motorcades.
Expressways likely to be affected include the Maju Expressway (MEX), North–South Expressway (PLUS) from Sungai Buloh to Jalan Duta, Elite Expressway (KLIA–Putrajaya), New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) from Subang to Jalan Duta, Guthrie Corridor Expressway and the KL–Seremban Expressway (Sungai Besi–City Centre).
KLC3 said the “Golden Triangle” area around KLCC will experience the most significant disruptions. The public is advised to avoid these areas and use public transport such as the MRT, LRT, Monorail or buses during the summit period.
Heavy vehicles will not be allowed into the city centre during peak hours of the event.
KLC3 also reminded road users to cooperate and stay updated as information on road closures will be announced periodically via the ASEAN 2025 portal at www.myasean2025.my or follow the ASEANmy Facebook page.
