Traffic was moving slowly on several major highways leading into the Klang Valley this evening, with the end of the second-term school holidays and heavy rain around the capital.
The Malaysian Highway Authority said southbound traffic on the North-South Expressway was congested from Permatang Pauh to Perai, Penang, and from Tapah to Sungkai, Perak. Northbound traffic was also reported to be slow after the Sungai Besi toll plaza heading towards the city centre.
Congestion was also reported for southbound traffic in Negeri Sembilan and Johor, from Bandar Baru Nilai to Bandar Ainsdale and from Simpang Renggam to Kulai.
On the New Klang Valley Expressway, northbound traffic was backed up from Kota Damansara to Bukit Lanjan because of a trailer on fire blocking the left lane.
Slow traffic was also reported on the Johor Causeway heading north from Woodlands to Johor Bahru, and along the Second Link southbound from Tuas to the Sultan Abu Bakar border checkpoint.
On the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway, congestion was reported from Bentong to Lentang and from the Gombak rest area to the Gombak toll plaza.
