0Big Hole in on KM272 PLUS Highway has Been Patched
Yesterday, news was spreading on social media about roadworks along the PLUS Highway (Northbound) near Ipoh. There was a large sinkhole that opened up around Gunung Lang. Rumours spread informed road users to avoid that stretch of highway this weekend. But an official post from PLUS Highway’s facebook page shows that the sinkhole has indeed been filled and resurfaced.
Here’s a copy of the viral message that spread and the accompanying images:
asslmlkm..
kpd semua pengguna2 lebuhraya utara selata utk balik bercuti sempena hari raya yg bakal menjelang tiba..
anda dinasihatkan supaya tidak kalut sb laluan terus dari tol ipoh ke tol jelapang ditutup berikutan kejadian mendapan di kawasan Gunung Lang Ipoh.. harap berhati2 .. kpd pengguna ke utara.. diarahkan utk masuk ke tol ipoh selatan.. kpd pengguna dari utara nak ke selatan.. akan masuk ke tol jelapang… harap maklum dan sebarkan kpd saudara mara yg akan balik bercuti..
sekarang kenderaan2 dari selatan ke utara makin meningkat dan keadaan agak sesak di tol ipoh selatan..
And here’s the post on their official Facebook page:
Pengesahan mengenai isu viral mendapan lubang berhampiran Ipoh di KM273.8-KM272.5 (Arah Utara). Semua laluan telah dibuka seperti biasa setelah kerja-kerja pembaikan telah selesai pada jam 5 petang semalam (28/5/19). Berita lanjut di https://bit.ly/2XdxxZR .
Segala kesulitan amat dikesali dan kerjasama anda amat dihargai.
Kudos to the Plus Highway team for their quick work.
