"Latest status, all southbound lanes have been closed and the northbound right lane is also closed. All vehicles travelling south are being diverted to the Jitra intersection. Traffic is slow-moving in both directions. Please plan your journey using Google Maps or Waze," it said in the update.
Kubang Pasu police chief Superintendent Mohd Redzuan Salleh said in a Facebook post vehicles on southbound lanes were diverted to the Malau exit of the expressway.
