A landslide incident occurred near the Menora Tunnel on the PLUS highway yesterday afternoon, affecting the left lane of southbound traffic. However, all lanes were reopened by 7pm, according to the Transportation Monitoring Centre (TMC) Plus. Perak police chief Alwi Zainal Abidin informed that PLUS is monitoring the situation at KM263.6 of the North-South Expressway and conducting an assessment of the hill slope conditions to ensure the safety of the route.
No casualties or property damage were reported. The cleanup works were completed, and all lanes were reopened to highway users at 7pm. Alwi advised users to exercise caution, follow safety signs, and reduce speed, especially during bad weather. The landslide happened around 2km after the Menora Tunnel during a rainstorm at approximately 4.30pm.
