In an effort to ease traffic congestion along the Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP), Lingkaran Trans Kota Holdings Bhd, has announced that a contra-flow traffic system will be implemented on a three month trial beginning December 8 (next Monday) until February 27 next year.
According to The Star, the concessionaire of the LDP said with a contra-flow traffic system, highway users from Puchong, Putrajaya and Shah Alam heading towards Kelana Jaya will be able to bypass the heavy traffic between Puchong Jaya and the Petaling Jaya Toll Plaza during the morning peak traffic flow.
A contra-flow lane will start at KM21 (Kelana Jaya-bound) on the LDP, opposite UOB and HSBC banks, after the IOI Mall) with the exit at KM18.
The contra-flow lane is only for light vehicles and Touch ‘n Go users, and will run on weekdays from 6.30am to 9.30am, excluding public holidays. Users should also keep the rightmost lane to enter the contra-flow lane.
Also, Plaza A Toll at the Petaling Jaya Toll Plaza in the opposite direction from Sunway will be closed to facilitate the contra flow.
If you’re coming from Sunway and headed to Puchong or KESAS, please use Plaza B during the contra-flow.
Litrak chief executive officer Sazally Saidi said two trial runs held in April and June last year aimed to identify the potential problems with the current traffic flow and the contra-flow system is expected to benefit some 5,000 motorist daily at the northbound Petaling Jaya toll plaza during the usual morning peak hours.
He added, “Litrak has already added bunting and signages along the highway to inform and guide highway users about the contra-flow.” The Highway Ronda team will be stationed at strategic locations and motorists are advised to follow the signages for guidance.
For more information, please contact the LDP Helpline at 03-7494 7333 for further details. Alternatively, you can visit the Litrak website here.
