During the run, the NPE traffic team and the traffic police will also patrol these areas to further ensure the safety of the runners.

Preparations are also under way by the NPE concenssionaire to alleviate traffic woes as motorists are diverted to other routes. The NPE will be closed to traffic in stages.

Partial traffic closures will begin from 3am and full closure by 5am. However, the expressway will be reopened by 11am.

NPE public relations executive Mohd Halmiee Saharudin said alternative routes have been planned for traffic diversions to facilitate the mobility of the local communities along the NPE.

“We are working closely with the highway concessionaire and joint sponsors, as well the MHA and the police to ensure smooth traffic flow.
