Traffic congestion on major highways expected to go on late into the night, says LLM


KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic flow on the country's main highways leading to the Klang Valley is still slow as people start returning to the capital after the Chinese New Year long holiday.

A spokesman for the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) said that as of 9pm Sunday (Feb 3), congestion was recorded at several locations along the North-South Expressway (PLUS) and Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway (KLK) following an increase in the number of vehicles and is expected to last until late night.

He said that the congestion heading to the Klang Valley from the north involved locations from Gurun heading to Sungai Petani Selatan, Gopeng to Bidor, Tanjung Malim to Bukit Tagar and Bukit Beruntung to Sungai Buaya.

He said for the southbound route, congestion was recorded from Pedas Linggi to Seremban.

For the east coast sector, congestion is being reported at the Bentong Toll Plaza heading to Lentang and Genting Sempah heading to the Gombak Toll Plaza.
