Flooding shuts key Shah Alam expressway links, diversions active on NKVE and ELITE

On November 4, pre-dawn flash floods led to the emergency closure of critical sections of the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) and the North-South Expressway Central Link (ELITE) near Shah Alam, severely disrupting morning peak-hour traffic in the Klang Valley.

PLUS Malaysia Bhd reported all lanes at NKVE Km 9.1 between Shah Alam and Subang were fully closed as water levels escalated following heavy overnight rain.

Traffic diversions were implemented, with partial relief achieved after some lanes reopened under cautious driving conditions.

Motorists are advised to defer non-essential travel and use alternate routes due to ongoing disruptions.

SHAH ALAM, Nov 4 — Pre-dawn flash floods forced the emergency closure of critical sections along the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) and the North-South Expressway Central Link (ELITE) near Shah Alam today, crippling morning peak-hour commutes across the central Klang Valley.

According to highway concessionaire PLUS Malaysia Bhd, all lanes at NKVE Km 9.1 between Shah Alam and Subang remained completely closed in both directions as of 9.04am.

To relieve mounting traffic queues, highway operators are diverting northbound traffic from Bukit Raja through the Setia Alam Toll Plaza, while southbound motorists from Subang are being channelled onto the ELITE highway.

Access from the Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE) towards the Shah Alam Toll Plaza also remained impassable this morning. However, traffic conditions saw partial relief after all lanes at the Shah Alam interchange along the ELITE highway, heading from Seafield towards Setia Alam, were reopened to traffic at 6.43am under cautious driving advisories.

The motorway disruptions began in the early hours following heavy overnight rain, with PLUS issuing its initial flood alert at 2.03am along the ELITE highway near the Shah Alam Toll Plaza. Water levels escalated rapidly by 2.30am as heavy surface runoff obstructed the entry ramp connecting the Guthrie Corridor Expressway, forcing the immediate closure of several entry and exit lanes.

Rising floodwaters subsequently breached NKVE Km 9.1 shortly before 2.40am, submerging the left and centre lanes between Shah Alam and Subang. By 3.00am, highway authorities enforced a total shutdown of the carriageway in both directions as the stretch became impassable to all vehicles, triggering emergency diversions towards Setia Alam and the Shah Alam interchange.

At 5.30am, localised ponding temporarily severed the ELITE interchange from Seafield before waters receded sufficiently to allow traffic through ahead of the peak morning rush.

With the mainline closure at NKVE Km 9.1 lingering through successive morning updates, PLUS advised road users to defer non-essential travel through the affected corridor, bypass the area using alternative state roads, and utilize live navigation applications to plan their journeys.

11 月 4 日凌晨，突发洪水导致新巴生谷大道 (NKVE) 和南北大道中环衔接道 (ELITE) 在莎阿南附近的关键路段紧急关闭，严重扰乱了巴生谷早高峰的交通。

PLUS Malaysia Bhd 报告称，由于夜间暴雨导致水位上涨，莎阿南和梳邦之间的 NKVE 9.1 公里处的所有车道均已完全封闭。

交通改道措施已经实施，在谨慎驾驶的前提下，部分车道重新开放后，交通状况得到部分缓解。

由于交通中断持续存在，建议驾车人士推迟非必要出行，并使用其他路线。

莎阿南，11月4日讯——今天凌晨突如其来的洪水迫使莎阿南附近的新巴生谷大道（NKVE）和南北大道中环衔接道（ELITE）的关键路段紧急关闭，严重影响了巴生谷中部地区的早高峰通勤。

据高速公路特许经营商 PLUS Malaysia Bhd 称，截至上午 9 点 04 分，NKVE 9.1 公里处（莎阿南至梳邦之间）的所有车道仍然双向完全封闭。

为了缓解日益严重的交通拥堵，高速公路运营商将来自武吉拉惹的北行车辆分流至实达阿南收费站，同时将来自梳邦的南行车辆引导至精英高速公路。

今天上午，从Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE) 前往莎阿南收费站的道路仍然无法通行。不过，随着早上6点43分从Seafield方向前往Setia Alam的ELITE高速公路莎阿南立交桥所有车道重新开放，交通状况有所缓解，但警方仍建议驾驶员谨慎驾驶。

由于前夜暴雨，高速公路交通中断始于凌晨。南北大道（PLUS）于凌晨2点03分在莎阿南收费站附近的精英高速公路（ELITE）路段发布了首条洪水警报。到凌晨2点30分，大量地表径流阻塞了连接古斯里走廊高速公路（Guthrie Corridor Expressway）的入口匝道，导致水位迅速上升，迫使多个出入口车道立即关闭。

凌晨2点40分前不久，洪水水位上涨冲破了NKVE公路9.1公里处的路段，淹没了莎阿南和梳邦之间的左侧和中间车道。凌晨3点，由于该路段完全无法通行，公路管理部门强制双向封闭了所有车道，并启动了紧急绕行路线，车辆需改道至实达阿南和莎阿南立交桥。

早上 5 点 30 分，局部积水暂时阻断了 ELITE 立交桥与 Seafield 之间的交通，之后水位下降到足以让车辆在早高峰前通行。

由于 NKVE 9.1 公里处的干线封闭情况在连续几个早晨的更新中仍然持续，PLUS 建议道路使用者推迟通过受影响走廊的非必要旅行，使用其他州级公路绕过该区域，并使用实时导航应用程序来规划他们的行程。
