18-month road closure in Johor Baru for RTS Link construction
JOHOR BARU: A crucial section of Jalan Johor Baru–Endau has been fully closed to traffic from June 3 and will remain so for more than 18 months to facilitate construction of the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link. The Public Works Department announced that the full closure, affecting Section 0.10 to Section 0.20 of the road, wouldl be in place until Dec 31 next year to allow round-the-clock construction works. In a statement, MRT Corporation (MRT Corp) said the closure was necessary to carry out piling, pile cap works, and column erection as part of the RTS Link infrastructure, which will eventually connect Johor Baru to Singapore. During the closure of Section 0.10, motorists travelling from Jalan Tun Abdul Razak (towards Danga Bay) will be diverted via Jalan Station and Jalan Wong Ah Fook towards Jalan Tebrau. As an alternative, those travelling from Jalan Tun Abdul Razak 1 may use the route in front of Masjid Habib Hassan Al-Attas towards Danga City Mall, make a U-turn, and return to Jalan Tun Abdul Razak before turning left onto Jalan Lingkaran Dalam. Motorists are advised to adhere to traffic signages and instructions from on-site traffic personnel to ensure safety and minimise disruptions.

RTS Link: Johor track installation now over 65pc complete
JOHOR BARU, Feb 26 — The track installation and construction progress for the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project connecting Johor Baru and Singapore is now more than 65 per cent complete. The project's operator, RTS Operations Sdn Bhd (RTSO), expressed confidence that the progress is on schedule, with ongoing work concentrated at the Wadi Hana Depot area. RTSO chief executive officer Dr Ahmad Marzuki Ariffin said the track installation at Wadi Hana Depot involves attaching track sleepers, rail tracks, and fastening related components. He explained that the 5.3-kilometre (km) track alignment begins at Wadi Hana Depot, connects to the main line at Bukit Chagar Station, crosses the viaduct, and continues to Woodlands North Station in Singapore. 'At present, work has commenced at the Wadi Hana Depot, and we expect the track work to continue all the way to Woodlands North Station in Singapore. 'With that, we anticipate the track installation to reach the Singapore station and be completed by July,' he told reporters at the RTS Link project's Wadi Hana Depot here today. Earlier, Ahmad Marzuki led a briefing session on the RTS Link project's latest developments. Also present was RTSO project director Zahrin Abdul Gani. Ahmad Marzuki said work related to the project's systems architecture would begin in stages, starting next month with the installation of power supply components, signalling, and communication systems. He estimated that systems-related work would take until next year to complete. The Johor Causeway is among the world's busiest land crossings, with more than 400,000 people using it daily.
