Kuala lumpur: Traffic on several major highways nationwide was slow as of this morning due to increased vehicle volume, as well as accidents and breakdowns.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, a Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesman reported that congestion stretching seven kilometres was observed on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) E1 southbound from Changkat Jering to Kuala Kangsar following an accident at KM231.4. Cleanup works are ongoing, and the right lane remains blocked.

The spokesman added that traffic on the PLUS E2 was slow from Setia Tropika to Dato' Onn. Delays are also expected from Sedenak to Senai Utara due to a broken-down vehicle at KM22.8 southbound, which is blocking the emergency and left lanes.

Meanwhile, traffic entering Malaysia from Singapore via the Johor Causeway experienced slow movement, stretching from the Woodlands Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complex to the Sultan Iskandar CIQ in Johor Bahru.

Additionally, slow-moving traffic was reported on the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) northbound from Puchong Utama to Puchong Intan. Motorists can obtain the latest traffic updates via the 24-hour hotline at 1-800-88-7752, or through X via the @plustrafik and @llmtrafik accounts.
