Two train services, ETS EP9535 and EG9449, will be suspended nightly from 10pm to 6am between Kempas Baru and JB Sentral to facilitate installation of a truss structure and pedestrian over bridge for the RTS Link project [1, 2, 3].
During the track closure, JB Sentral station remains open, but the track segment connecting Kempas Baru and JB Sentral will be shut overnight [3]. Passengers on affected trains must disembark at Kempas Baru and use a shuttle bus service provided by KTMB to reach JB Sentral [1, 2, 3].
