A Malaysian highway authority (LLM) spokesman told Bernama this morning that the congestion on the Kuala Lumpur-Karak highway, between Gombak and Genting Sempah, stretches for about 17km from the Gombak toll plaza.

“The traffic heading north from Slim River to Sungkai and from the Menora Tunnel to the Sungai Perak RnR is also moving at a very slow pace,” he said of the situation on the north-south expressway (PLUS).

He added that the flow heading north from Bidor towards Tapah is sluggish.

Furthermore, the spokesman said an accident which occurred at 7.43am heading north between the Tapah and Gopeng exits has been resolved, resulting in the resumption of smooth traffic flow.

As reported previously, Smartlane routes have been activated this morning, including from KM4.5 to KM1.9 heading south from Setia Tropika to Pasir Gudang, and from KM27 to KM19 heading south from Kulai to Senai.
