KUALA LUMPUR: The Smart Tunnel closure on Monday was justified, as it was the first time the system was put to a real test and proved effective in diverting floodwater, SMART project director John Abraham said.
"The SMART flood tunnel proved successful and effective in its first real flood diversion on Monday and an alert from the Irrigation and Drainage Department's Stormwater Control Centre (SCC) was received when the rainwater reached critical levels at the monitoring station at 8pm.
