Johor Bahru checkpoint to close one car arrival zone from Oct 26 for renovations

This is not the first time that Arrival Car Zone D has been closed for upgrading works. 

In August this year, it was shut for five hours to allow the addition and replacement of signs and electronic notice boards. 

Zone C recently reopened on Oct 13 after a two-month closure, said the chairman of Johor’s state works, transportation and infrastructure committee.

Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh added in a Facebook post that he has asked for upgrading works at the other zones to be expedited. 

Enhancements are also being carried out at Bangunan Sultan Iskandar’s arrival bus halls.

“Some of the automated clearance lanes are undergoing replacement and installation works,” ICA said on Oct 19, adding that those lanes would not be operational from Oct 16 until Nov 10.

The Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Immigration Office previously said that the autogates that were not involved in the upgrading works would operate as usual for arriving Malaysian citizens.

It did not specify how many automated clearance lanes would be available.
