Tough week for motorists

Bumper to bumper: Traffic was at a crawl on Lebuhraya Sultan Iskandar stretching to Jalan Tun Razak as only two out of the four lanes were passable. Motorists were also diverted to the Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim exit. (Inset) A tractor filling the gaping hole at Lebuhraya Sultan Iskandar. Photos: AZHAR MAHFOF and JAROD LIM

IT WILL be a week of hell for drivers traversing Lebuhraya Sultan Iskandar as a portion of the highway has been closed to traffic after cracks appeared on a stretch of the road.

Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Phesal Talib said it would take a week for the south-bound lane of the highway (formerly Jalan Mahameru) to be reopened.
