Banjir kilat jejaskan beberapa laluan di Shah Alam

Heavy flash flooding struck several thoroughfares near Shah Alam this morning, causing significant disruption to traffic flow. A series of images shared on the social media platform Threads illustrated the extent of the flooding, with water inundating roads and impeding vehicular movement. Users reported inundated areas in front of the Giant hypermarket in Seksyen 13, highlighting the need for caution when traversing certain routes.

The Lebuhraya Lembah Klang Baru (NKVE) divided Shah Alam and Seksyen 22 had been closed in both directions due to the flooding, causing significant traffic congestion. Additionally, the surrounding expressway in Seksyen 13 remained blocked, leading to anticipated peak-hour traffic jams. A user named faraamcl shared the ongoing congestion at the entrance to the NKVE (E1) interchange near Plaza Toll Shah Alam, as numerous commuters began utilizing this route for their morning commutes.

Recently reported via X @plustrafik, PLUS Malaysia confirmed that the route from Lebuhraya Guthrie (GCE) to Plaza Toll Shah Alam was closed due to the heavy rainfall, advising users to utilize alternative routes. However, some lanes of the Central East-Relationship South-North Hub (ELITE) at Shah Alam's Shah Alam-Seafield junction, which had been closed since the previous night, had since reopened, but users were cautioned to exercise caution.
