KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 — Traffic on several major highways began building up as early as 10am today as people started travelling to their hometowns and making their way to various destinations ahead of tomorrow’s Deepavali celebration.
A Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesman said one of the affected routes was the Kuala Lumpur-Karak (KLK) Expressway, where eastbound traffic was congested from the Gombak Toll Plaza to Lentang.
“Traffic on the East Coast Expressway 1 (LPT1) and East Coast Expressway 2 (LPT2), however, remains smooth,” the spokesman told Bernama when contacted today.
He said traffic on the northbound stretch of the North-South Expressway (PLUS) E1 was moving slowly from Sungai Buloh to Tanjong Malim, Trolak to Tapah, Gopeng to Simpang Pulai, Alor Pongsu to Bandar Baharu, as well as Permatang Pauh to the Sungai Dua Toll Plaza.
