Tun Jugah ART piling phase narrows Cheng Ho slip roads
-
Kuching motorists face additional lane restrictions around Jalan Tun Jugah under Sarawak Metro's traffic plan effective from 11pm on October 7, with the arrangement expected to last about three months.
Both slip roads between Jalan Tun Jugah and Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho are being narrowed to one lane. A lane at the Jalan Song traffic lights, before the right turn towards Jalan Tun Jugah, is also included in the closure plan.
This is a reduction in available lanes, not a complete road closure. Sarawak Metro says at least one lane will remain open at the affected sections, so traffic from Jalan Song and Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho can still continue towards Tun Jugah and the city centre. Drivers should expect slower movement, especially at peak hours, and follow the signs at each work zone.
The new phase accommodates bored-piling machinery and construction of piers for the elevated ART guideway between Tun Jugah and Upland stations on the KUTS Red Line. The three-month estimate concerns these traffic arrangements; it is not an ART service-opening date.
For construction-traffic enquiries, the KUTS hotline is 1300-88-5887, Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm, excluding public holidays. Sarawak Metro says it will issue updates when diversions or lane arrangements change.
