Is the road closure still happening in November?

Should be, there's a signage on the road that states the closure is happening on 25 Nov

Bandar Utama has always claim that land to be theirs. The road was only open as a temporary status. Nothing to shout about.

Hope they close it. Pray to god that no big shot bribe the government to reopen it after its close.
