Malaysians travelling in and around the Klang Valley and Putrajaya this week should prepare for significant traffic disruptions as Chinese President Xi Jinping makes his official state visit to Malaysia from Tuesday, 15 April to Thursday, 17 April 2025.
In a public statement, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) confirmed that a total of 17 major roads and highways will face temporary full closures and diversions over the three-day period. The closures are aimed at ensuring the security and smooth passage of President Xi&rsquo;s motorcade and accompanying delegations.
Full Road Closures Expected to Last up to 45 Minutes

The closures will each last between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the convoy&rsquo;s schedule and road conditions. However, police stressed that traffic will be reopened immediately once the delegation has passed.
Bukit Aman&rsquo;s Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department (JSPT) Director, Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri, stated that 378 police officers and traffic personnel will be on active duty throughout the visit. Their responsibilities include escorting dignitaries, managing traffic, and ensuring public safety.
&ldquo;These road closures are necessary for protocol and security reasons. We ask that all road users remain calm, cooperative, and follow the directions given by officers on site,&rdquo; he said.
