KOTA BHARU, Aug 28 (Bernama) – Part of Jalan Lojing-Gua Musang (FT185) near Kampung Jekjok remains limited to a single lane after a sinkhole appeared on Aug 7.
In a Facebook post today, the Gua Musang Public Works Department (JKR) said the 8.30 am incident created a depression measuring 15 metres long, six metres wide and 3.1 metres deep.
“The Gua Musang-bound lane has been fully closed, while only one lane remains open for traffic heading in the opposite direction.
“The sinkhole is believed to have formed due to water flow along the edge of the box culvert, and the affected area is continuing to expand,” JKR said.
Traffic safety management measures have been put in place, with monitoring and site inspections ongoing in collaboration with Roadcare (M) Sdn Bhd, the Royal Malaysia Police, the Gua Musang Land and District Office and Gua Musang District Council, the statement added.
