CNY congestion builds up on North-South highway

Northbound lanes chock-a-block in northern Perak and Seberang Perai and on Penang Bridge.

KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic congestion has been building up since this afternoon on the North-South Highway.

A spokesman for PLUS said northbound traffic was reported to be chock-a-block from Jelapang to Kuala Kangsar, Permatang Pauh to Sungai Dua and on the Penang Bridge from the island to the middle of the bridge.

On southbound lanes, traffic movement was slow from Seremban to Senawang and Pedas/Linggi to Simpang Ampat, he said.

A Malaysian Highway Authority spokesman said traffic from the Gombak toll plaza to Genting Sempah and around the Bentong toll plaza to Bentong Timor was at a snail’s pace.
