George town: Intermittent partial lane closures along Jalan Kampung Relau and Jalan Tun Dr Awang will be implemented for 75 days from tomorrow to facilitate drainage and road widening works for the Mutiara Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project. Malaysia Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) announced today that these closures would occur daily from 8 am to 4 pm until October 15.
