The emergence of cracks as well as deposition of sedimentary soil along the left lane of the Sultan Iskandar Highway (formerly Lebuhraya Mahameru), in particular the portion of road just after the Jalan Damansara-Jalan Parliament turn-off, has caused the closure of said route as of 8 pm yesterday.
Che Shaari Abdullah of the Wangsa Maju Fire and Rescue department, told Bernama that the cracks first surfaced at around 2 pm yesterday due to road repair works. “The affected section of the road about 3 metres by 4.6 metres, was a risk to road users with the road sinking and worsening cracks because of the rain this afternoon.”
“We created a detour from Parliament to enter into the city centre for vehicles heading south,” he said. Currently, the said portion of the highway remains closed to the public as works to rectify the situation are still ongoing. “The road will reopen when it is no longer a danger to road users,” added Che Shaari.

I wonder why the road was fine and well prior so call naik taraf.
I was caught in the jam this morning for more than 1 hour.
No proper signages to inform and only the diversion near Jalan Parlimen.
6lanes into 1 lane!!
No wonder why it was so jammed.
What a waste of time.
That was because of the diversion for MRT construction la.
Another Najib’s project.
Naik taraf or turun taraf..cant thy have a proper plan and risk assessment before do any constructions???who is the contractors behind this incidents
I seriously think its high time to stop the damn MRTA project. so many things is happening and our fellow leaders are just not showing any initiative to improve things. cracks is just a sign , wait till it drops and many innocents will be killed for no reason than only want to take action is it ?
This not related to MRT. The damage is on the road n it is cause by road repair gone wrong..
Confirm is because of Najib’s MRT construction la. Collapsed few days ago but “fixed”
They were building something in the middle of the road and diverted the traffic into the emergency lane for weeks already.
U say mahameru, but why u posted photo of jalan ampang?
Because we don’t have a file photo of Lebuhraya Mahameru, unfortunately. :)
