According to highway concessionaire PLUS Malaysia Bhd, all lanes at NKVE Km 9.1 between Shah Alam and Subang were closed in both directions as early as 9.04am. To alleviate mounting traffic congestion, northbound traffic from Bukit Raja is being diverted through the Setia Alam Toll Plaza, while southbound motorists from Subang are being redirected onto the ELITE highway.",
