KUALA LUMPUR: As of 5pm on Saturday (Feb 10), traffic was congested or moving slowly on several major highways due to the public’s movement in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations and the long holiday. A spokesman for the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) informed Bernama that traffic was congested and moving slowly for about 5km on the Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE) heading towards the Gombak Toll Plaza from Taman Greenwood and Batu Caves.
In addition to the DUKE, traffic conditions were reported to be moving slowly heading north from Sungai Buloh Hospital to Rawang Selatan, from Bukit Beruntung to Bukit Tagar, Sungkai to Bidor, Tapah to Gopeng, and from Bandar Baharu to Bandar Cassia. “Traffic flow on the East Coast Expressway (LPT) 1 and LPT 2 in both directions is smooth, except for Lentang to Bentong heading east,” the spokesman said.
Furthermore, traffic congestion and slow movement were also reported heading south from Nilai to RnR Seremban, from Bandar Ainsdale to Senawang, and from Simpang Ampat to Ayer Keroh. PLUS’ official X account reported an accident at KM168.2 heading north from Bandar Baharu to Jawi, but no lanes were blocked and traffic was under control. – Bernama
