Update: Drivers, take note!

The following is the route we discovered that will not be closed throughout the event. However, this is subject to the Traffic Police who may decide to close the roads as they deem necessary.

Please note that the route is as per map below. The reverse flow of certain roads that are part of the recommended route may be closed (meaning you may be able to travel from A to B as recommended BUT not from B to A)

Whatever it is, we anticipate traffic flow to be chaotic due to the road closures - please depart earlier!



Better still, take the monorail (stop at Bukit Nanas station) or the LRT (stop at Dang wangi Station).

Update 1 - Road Closures

Please see the following roads closure to plan your route. (below)

The good news is that the following stretches of road are open throughout the day:
a) Jalan P Ramlee in front of KL Tower - (from Shangri La heading towards The Weld) and
b) Jalan Jalan Sultan ismail from Renaissance Hotel to Shangri la Hotel

You can turn right from Jalan Sultan Ismail (on the side of Concorde Hotel) into Jalan P Ramlee and head towards Jalan Puncak, if you can get there! The Challenge is getting to that stretch of Jalan Sultan ismail


 


Please plan your route accordingly.

Directions from KL Tower into Bukit Nanas

If you are planning to head to BAR Malaysia Staff Fun Day 2011 site via KL Tower, the following information maybe useful:

1. If you are driving, the Ticket booth (halfway up the hill to KL Tower) is open from 7am. Collect your parking ticket and continue your drive up the hill to the carpark right in fromt of KL Tower. Park your car.

2. For those intending to take the shuttle van from the foothill, it may not be operational then (before 9am). You will have to WALK up the hill to KL Tower.

3. At KL Tower, look for the KL Tower Animal Zone - located beside the escalators up to KL Tower. It is behind this KL Tower Animal Zone that you will find the suspension bridge that leads to the venue of  BAR Malaysia Staff Fun Day 2011.




Although the parking charges is at RM 2.65 per hour at KL Tower, this is the easiest and fastest route to reach the site of BAR Malaysia Staff Fun Day 2011.

Alternatively, take the Monorail (to Bukit Nanas station) or LRT KJ Line (to Dang Wangi station). Hail a taxi in the vicinity to take you up Bukit Nanas instead of walking up from the other entrance to Bukit Nanas at Jalan Ampang/Jalan Sultan Ismail junction (Wariseni).

Better still, car-pool with the others - it saves cost, fuel and you guys are doing your bit in saving the environment!

See you soon!
