ON Jan 29, motorists heading to Johor Baru and Singapore will have to make a detour through the city to facilitate the placement of a beam to connect Johor Baru Sentral and the City Square shopping complex.
Those going to the republic from Jalan Tun Abdul Razak will have to make a U-turn after the Caltex petrol station and go around Kompleks Komtar through a slip road.
Traffic will emerge from Jalan Wong Ah Fook before going back to Jalan Tun Abdul Razak (refer to map).
The road diversion will be from 12.30am on Jan 29 to 4.30pm the next day.
Public Works Department construction director for the Gerbang Selatan Bersepadu (GSB) project said the diversion was to facilitate the setting up of a pre-cast beam.
Zulkifly Madon said the one-way Jalan Wong Ah Fook would become two-way.
"Two lanes of the four-lane road will be for traffic heading to town and Singapore and another two lanes for traffic heading to Skudai and the north."
Zulkifly said traffic policemen would be stationed to help direct traffic.
