However, no unusual congestion has been reported so far.

A spokesman for the Malaysia Highway Authority (LLM) said the number of vehicles is expected to increase from 2pm today.

“There was an increase in traffic volume at the Gombak toll plaza while congestion was also reported on a 1.5km stretch before the Genting Sempah tunnel.

“For the northern route, an accident at Km257.8 from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Kangsar resulted in a 3.6km crawl, while traffic heading south is still smooth.”

A Bernama check at three toll plazas – at Gombak, Sungai Besi and Jalan Duta – found that the traffic was smooth despite an increase in the number of vehicles.
