Congestion builds on key Malaysian expressways due to accidents, breakdowns, and high vehicle volume, causing significant delays for motorists nationwide.
KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic on several major highways nationwide was slow this morning due to high vehicle volume, accidents and breakdowns.
A Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesman reported a seven-kilometre congestion on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) E1 southbound from Changkat Jering to Kuala Kangsar. This followed an accident at KM231.4, with cleanup works ongoing and the right lane remaining blocked.
Traffic on the PLUS E2 was also slow from Setia Tropika to Dato’ Onn. Delays are expected from Sedenak to Senai Utara due to a broken-down vehicle at KM22.8 southbound, which is blocking the emergency and left lanes.
Traffic entering Malaysia from Singapore via the Johor Causeway was slow from the Woodlands CIQ complex to the Sultan Iskandar CIQ in Johor Bahru. Slow-moving traffic was also reported on the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) northbound from Puchong Utama to Puchong Intan.
