Deepavali holiday rush sees heavy traffic on KL-Karak, PLUS highways

The Deepavali holiday rush has caused heavy traffic on several major highways in Malaysia, with congestion reported on the Kuala Lumpur-Karak (KLK) Expressway, East Coast Expressway 1 and 2, and North-South Expressway (PLUS) E1. According to a Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesman, eastbound traffic on the KLK Expressway was particularly congested from the Gombak Toll Plaza to Lentang, while slow-moving traffic was reported on the northbound and southbound stretches of PLUS E1 and E2, respectively.

In Johor, northbound traffic towards Kuala Lumpur and southbound traffic from Dato’ Onn to Pasir Gudang experienced minor delays. The spokesman advised travelers to check current traffic conditions and plan their journeys accordingly to avoid getting caught in congestion along major routes.
