KUALA LUMPUR: The traffic flow into the Klang Valley from the north and east is still congested as at noon Friday (May 6) as more city folks return home after Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations.
A Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA) spokesman said sluggish movements from the north heading to the Klang Valley were detected in Bertam heading to the Sungai Dua toll plaza, from Permatang Pauh to Seberang Jaya and Juru to the Juru toll plaza.
"Apart from that, a massive traffic volume was also reported at Bukit Tambun heading to Bandar Cassia, Alor Pongsu to Bukit Merah, Changkat Jering to Bukit Berapit. Kuala Kangsar to Sungai Perak Rest Area until the Menora Tunnel, Ipoh to Gopeng and Bidor to Slim River,” he told Bernama Friday.
According to the spokesman, traffic flow from the east saw congestion in Bentong heading to the Bentong toll plaza and after the Bentong toll plaza to Bukit Tinggi.
However, he said the traffic flow from the south into the Klang Valley was under control with congestion occurring at Sedenak heading towards Simpang Renggam.
"MHA expects the situation to persist until late night and motorists are advised to plan their journeys," he said. - Bernama
