Highway maintenance work halted for smooth traffic flow - Nanta
Public Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi has ordered maintenance work on all highways be halted from April 18 until May 7.
He said the move was to ensure the smooth flow of traffic and not disrupt people's journeys during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration thus ensuring the comfort and safety of highway users.
He said this when met by reporters after conducting an inspection of Highway and Toll Preparation at the Gombak Toll Plaza .
He said the halt on maintenance work was agreed upon by all highway concession companies and the directive was issued following a viral video on social media regarding the lanes on the highway being partially closed following maintenance work.
Asked about the preparedness of the highway to receive a high flow of traffic, Nanta said he was assured that the highway concession companies had provided the best user service involving the readiness of the 'Emergency Response Team' and feedback to the highway concession from users.
