Motorists from Kepong heading to the SPRINT Highway (KL-bound) could proceed to the flyover and turn left at Damansara Utama Interchange to join the SPRINT highway, while motorists on the SPRINT Highway heading to TTDI will be diverted to the TTDI Interchange and make a U-turn before the traffic light and proceed to Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad.
Motorists from LDP/TTDI heading towards KL/SPRINT Highway will be diverted to the opposite lane and one traffic lane would be made available for each direction while the junction of Jalan Wan Kadir and Jalan Wan Kadir 3 with Jalan Damansara will be temporarily closed or inaccessible during the contra-flow period.
