As we have published earlier, several major roads and highways will be closed or have traffic diverted for the 47th ASEAN Summit, set to take place from 26th to 28th October 2025.
A total of 6 major highways and 14 key roads will be affected, listed below.
Main highways affected:
- Maju Expressway (MEX);
- North-South Expressway (from Sungai Buloh to Jalan Duta);
- ELITE Expressway (from KLIA to Putrajaya);
- New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) (from Subang to Jalan Duta);
- Guthrie Expressway;
- KL–Seremban Expressway (from Sungai Besi to city centre).
Main KL roads affected:
- Jalan Ampang;
- Jalan Sultan Ismail;
- Jalan P. Ramlee;
- Jalan Pinang;
- Jalan Binjai;
- Persiaran KLCC;
- Jalan Bukit Bintang;
- Jalan Imbi;
- Jalan Perak;
- Jalan Parlimen;
- Jalan Damansara;
- Jalan Istana;
- Jalan Tun Razak;
- Jalan Kuching.
Kuala Lumpur Command and Control Centre (KLC3) said that the ‘Golden Triangle’ area surrounding KLCC is expected to experience the most significant traffic disruption. The public is advised to avoid these routes and to use public transportation such as the MRT, LRT, Monorail and buses during the summit.
It added that heavy vehicles will not be allowed to enter the city centre during peak summit hours.
The 47th ASEAN Summit is scheduled to take place from Oct 26 to 28, marking the culmination of Malaysia’s Asean Chairmanship for 2025.
The summit will bring together all 10 leaders of ASEAN member states along with dialogue partners and invited world leaders, including US president Donald Trump.
Our main worry is about traffic disruptions heading to and from the Malaysian MotoGP held at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit from 24 to 26 October. KLC3 had not provided the timing of the road closures, especially for the two main highways connecting to SIC, namely MEX Highway and the ELITE Expressway.
