SIX roads in the Setiu district that connect Terengganu and Kelantan have been closed to all vehicles due to the worsening floods.

Terengganu police, in a statement today, said the affected roads are Jalan Kuala Terengganu-Kota Baru (near Petronas Permaisuri in Kampung Balik Bukit); Jalan Kuala Terengganu-Kota Baru (at Guntong traffic lights) and Jalan Guntong-Kampung Saujana (in Kampung Guntong Dalam).

“The roads that are also cut off to vehicles are Jalan Kuala Terengganu-Kota Baru (in Kampung Buluh), Jalan Permaisuri-Kampung Hulu Seladang (in Kampung Besut) and Jalan Kuala Terengganu-Kampung Raja (near the Che Selamah roundabout on Jalan Pantai),” the statement read.

Meanwhile, LPT2 Sdn Bhd, in a statement on its official Facebook today, informed that due to a blocked section at Km393.4 of the Bukit Besi-Ajil route due to a collapsed slope, motorists from Kuala Lumpur heading towards Kuala Terengganu are advised to exit at the Dungun toll plaza (mandatory exit) and should use coastal road.

“However, motorists from Kuala Terengganu heading towards Kuantan and Kuala Lumpur can use the East Coast Expressway 2, as it is still open to all vehicles,” it said. – Bernama, December 19, 2022.
