PETALING JAYA, 29 Apr: The one-way road project in some areas of the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) is going on smoothly and is expected to be fully completed in 18 months.
The MBPJ Mayor, Mohd Azizi Mohd Zaid, said that he will ensure that the project is carried out according to schedule and to monitor it every two weeks.
“If the contractor carries it out according to schedule, we can shorten the completion period. If there are too many issues that arise, it will be completed a little later.
“That is why I informed the Engineering Department to monitor this project on a regular basis and make sure it is according to schedule,” he told Selangor Kini.
Mohd Azizi said that MBPJ has also distributed leaflets to the public to get their views as soon as this project is fully completed.
Meanwhile, when commenting on the installation of traffic lights at the Othman Roundabout at Jalan Templer, he said that it will be ready on May 25.
“We will complete this project before the month of Ramadan and I will personally ask the contractor to implement it immediately,” he added.
The second phase of the one-way road project will begin from July to November, involving Jalan Barat, certain parts of Persiaran Barat, half of Jalan Utara, and the remainder of Jalan Sultan.
Other roads such as Jalan Yong Shook Lin and the remainder of Persiaran Barat will be developed in the third phase which is scheduled to take place from December to April next year.
The final phase will witness landscaping and the construction of bus stops, as well as a security fence, and will be completed on August 31, 2016.
