Jalan Sultan Ismail flooded due to pipe break, disrupting traffic – lane closed, find alternate routes

The new year hasn’t exactly gotten off to an auspicious start, at least for those trundling back to work in downtown KL this morning. A pipe break on Jalan Sultan Ismail caused a minor flood in front of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, right under the Bukit Nanas Monorail station.

As a result of the problem, the leftmost southeast-bound lane was underwater, causing traffic disruption in the area; traffic police were on hand to help manage the situation. The flooding was reported by the Kuala Lumpur Command and Control Centre (KLCCC) at 7:40am this morning, and an hour later it posted an update showing the lane being closed and the water drained.

The pipe break appears to have caused extensive damage to the kerb and pavement, so expect repair works to continue disrupting traffic on the road for a while yet. We advise road users in the area to plan ahead and find alternate routes to their destination; those already stuck in the congestion should drive safe and pay extra attention to avoid worsening the situation.
