Penang’s Mayang Pasir Highway closed until Saturday for repairs after sinkhole emerges

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 — A section of Mayang Pasir Highway in Bayan Baru, Penang, will remain closed until October 31 to allow road repairs following a sinkhole incident yesterday.

The Penang Public Works Department (JKR) advised motorists to use alternative routes and plan their journeys to avoid inconvenience during the closure.

The department said the closure was necessary to facilitate repairs to the road structure following the sinkhole.

Motorists can use alternative routes via Lebuh Mayang Pasir and Jalan Mahsuri, or through Lorong Mayang Pasir 5, Lebuh Mayang Pasir 2 and Lorong Mayang Pasir 1, Harian Metro reported.

Motorists in the affected area were urged to cooperate during the closure.

The sinkhole was noticed by a road user at about 3.10pm yesterday, according to media reports.

Pantai Jerejak assemblyman Fahmi Zainol said the water-filled sinkhole had formed near residents’ homes.

He said, based on the Public Works Department’s inspection at the site, the incident was believed to have been caused by a leak in a pipe belonging to Indah Water Konsortium (IWK).

吉隆坡，10月29日讯——由于昨日发生路面塌陷事故，槟城峇央峇鲁的马扬巴西高速公路部分路段将继续封闭至10月31日，以便进行道路维修。

槟城公共工程局（JKR）建议驾车人士使用其他路线并规划行程，以避免道路封闭期间造成不便。

该部门表示，封闭道路是为了方便修复塌陷后的道路结构。

据《Harian Metro》报道，驾车者可以使用替代路线，通过 Lebuh Mayang Pasir 和 Jalan Mahsuri，或通过 Lorong Mayang Pasir 5、Lebuh Mayang Pasir 2 和 Lorong Mayang Pasir 1。

受影响区域的驾车人士被敦促在道路封闭期间予以配合。

据媒体报道，昨天下午3点10分左右，一名道路使用者发现了这个塌陷坑。

Pantai Jerejak 州议员 Fahmi Zainol 表示，这个充满水的塌陷坑形成于居民住宅附近。

他说，根据公共工程部对现场的检查，该事件据信是由英达水务集团（IWK）的管道泄漏引起的。
