Congestion ‘cannot be avoided’ with RTS Link construction


JOHOR BARU: Road users in the city should brace for more traffic congestion in the second and third quarter of the year as the construction of the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link reaches its peak, says the Johor Baru mayor.

Datuk Mohd Noorazam Osman said many roads are expected to be closed from April until September to make way for the ongoing cross border rail construction project that will link Johor Baru and Singapore.
