Heavy rain has caused flooding in northern Perak, specifically in the Larut, Matang and Selama District of the state, of which Taiping is the main town. The PLUS North South Highway stretch passing the area isn’t spared.
The concessionaire says that the southbound Taiping R&R has been inundated by flash floods and is closed, with the latest update coming in at 8am this morning. Surau facilities at the northbound Taiping R&R are flooded and remain closed as of 7.54 am.
Parts of the highway have been affected by stagnant water as well – as of 7.21 am, the emergency and left lanes from KM 214.3 to KM 215.0 southbound Taiping (U) to Changkat Jering are closed. However, a flooded area between Changkat Jering and Kuala Kangsar is now open to traffic.
In this weather, keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front and be wary of puddles. Drive safe.
