  "account": "From September 7 to 9, the stretch of the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway heading towards George Town will experience nightly closures and traffic diversions. This measure is part of ongoing highway construction works being carried out by IJM Land Berhad, the developer of The Light Waterfront Penang. The closures will be in effect from 10pm to 5am each day, spanning the distance between the Jalan Tunku Kudin junction and Jalan Ahmad Nor. The primary objective is to construct an elevated U-turn facility, which will serve to enhance the upcoming Air Itam Bypass and alleviate overall traffic congestion on the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway.
