KUANTAN: Floodwaters at stretches along the East Coast Expressway (LPT1) have started to recede, with only one section, between Chenor and Temerloh, still impassable to vehicles.
In a statement, Anih Bhd, the concessionaire of the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway (KLK) and LPT1, said Km126.3 (between the Chenor and Temerloh interchange) is the only section which remains closed due to floods.
"Both bounds at the section were closed at 2.30am yesterday. However, three other sections which were earlier closed are now passable.
"The section at Km84.6 and Km84.7 (between the Lanchang and Karak interchange) on both bounds; and the speed-lane at Km113 and Km115 near Temerloh (between Lanchang and Temerloh interchange) were reopened at 5.30pm yesterday," it read.
Anih said road users were advised to adhere to instructions by its staff stationed along the expressway.
