High traffic at Gombak toll plaza

Heavy traffic was reported from the Gombak toll plaza heading to the east coast at 11am today as city folks head back to their home towns to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

A spokesman for the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) said the number of vehicles has been increasing since yesterday, and the traffic flow is congested up to Genting Sempah, Pahang.

“However, the traffic flow on the East Cost Expressway 1 and 2 was reported to be smooth in both directions,” he said when contacted today.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for PLUS Malaysia Berhad said smooth traffic flow was also reported on two major highways heading north and south, namely at the Sungai Besi toll plaza and Jalan Duta toll plaza.

In a tweet, PLUS reported that traffic to the north was slow from Slim River to Sungkai, and an accident had occurred at KM301.8 northbound from Bangi to Kajang.
