GEORGE TOWN, Oct 11 — The rightmost lanes on both the George Town and Bayan Lepas-bound carriageways of the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway will be temporarily shut down from October 12 to February 28, 2027. IJM Land Berhad revealed this during a statement on October 11, explaining that the closures are part of the next phase of construction for an elevated U-turn.
