Rapid KL LRT and Monorail service provider, Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd will replace the tracks of Sri Petaling LRT line, between the PWTC and Titiwangsa station, beginning from this Tuesday (Nov 8).

Prasarana Malaysia Berhad (Prasarana) said the replacement will be done at night, after its operation time, from 1am to 4am, until Nov 22.
