Holiday traffic builds up on major expressways as of 9pm
KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic on most major expressways remained heavy as of 9pm tonight as Malaysians began travelling for the long National Day weekend.
KUALA LUMPUR - Traffic congestion is expected to persist on major expressways throughout the night as Malaysians commence their journey for the long National Day weekend, according to the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM). Northbound traffic on key routes such as Gopeng to Simpang Pulai, Sungkai to Bidor, and Bukit Beruntung to Bukit Tagar is moving at a sluggish pace, as is traffic between Bertam and Sungai Petani Utara, and between Sungai Dua and Bertam.
Southbound traffic is also experiencing bottlenecks from Seremban to Senawang, while the stretch from Nilai to Seremban is slow following an accident near KM425.4 of the North-South Expressway (Plus).
The LLM spokesperson informed Bernama that traffic congestion is anticipated to continue until midnight due to the continuous flow of vehicles. This increased traffic volume is also expected to impact traffic tomorrow. The authority has urged motorists to plan their journeys in advance, remain patient, and drive cautiously while following all traffic regulations.
