Bridge collapses in Selangor as flash floods hit Sungai Buloh and Petaling

Heavy rainfall in Selangor has led to flash floods, causing the collapse of a bridge along Jalan Kubu Gajah in the Petaling district.

The collapse severed the main route between Kampung Kubu Gajah and Paya Jaras Hilir, prompting the closure of the road and the implementation of a Traffic Management Plan, which includes diversions for affected motorists.

A temporary Bailey bridge is set to be installed to restore connectivity.

Several areas, including Sungai Buloh and parts of Shah Alam, experienced flooding, although floodwaters on major highways have started to recede.

SUNGAI BULOH, Nov 4 — Several major roads and areas in Selangor were affected by flash floods following continuous heavy rain since early today, with a bridge along Jalan Kubu Gajah spanning Sungai Subang in the Petaling district collapsing.

According to the Petaling District Public Works Department (JKR), the bridge collapsed at about 2 am after strong currents in Sungai Subang eroded the riverbanks, following rainfall of 48 millimetres recorded at the Paya Jaras Hilir station.

The collapse completely cut off the main route linking Kampung Kubu Gajah and Paya Jaras Hilir, prompting authorities to close the road to all vehicles for safety reasons.

To ease traffic disruption, a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) has been activated, with motorists heading to Merbau Sempak and Kubu Gajah diverted via Jalan Merbau Sempak towards Masjid Nurul Iman.

Motorists travelling to Paya Jaras Hilir can use Jalan Paya Jaras Hilir via Federal Route 54 (FT54).

JKR said a temporary Bailey bridge would be installed as a medium-term measure to restore access between the affected areas.

Meanwhile, Selangor Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) Operations Division assistant director Ashrul Riezal Asbar said flash floods also affected Sungai Buloh, Paya Jaras, Kampung Melayu Subang, Rawang and several areas in Shah Alam.

In a related development, floodwaters on major highways have begun to recede, including at the Shah Alam interchange, based on closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage monitored by the Malaysian Highway Authority’s (LLM) Traffic Management Centre.

An LLM spokesman said the right and middle lanes at the Shah Alam interchange heading north had been reopened to traffic.

“However, the southbound lanes at the interchange remain temporarily closed to allow debris to be cleared and safety inspections to be carried out before they are fully reopened.

“So far, no other highways have been reported to be affected by flooding,” he told Bernama. — Bernama

雪兰莪州强降雨引发山洪，导致八打灵县古布牙也路一座桥梁坍塌。

坍塌事故切断了甘榜古布加查和巴亚加拉斯希利尔之间的主要道路，导致道路封闭，并实施了交通管理计划，其中包括为受影响的驾车者安排绕行路线。

将会安装一座临时贝利桥来恢复网络连接。

包括双溪毛糯和莎阿南部分地区在内的多个地区遭遇洪水，但主要公路上的洪水已经开始消退。

双溪毛糯，11月4日讯——雪兰莪州多条主要道路和地区因今日以来持续强降雨而遭受突发洪水侵袭，其中八打灵县古布牙也路跨越梳邦河的一座桥梁坍塌。

据八打灵县公共工程局 (JKR) 称，凌晨 2 点左右，由于巴耶加拉斯希利尔 (Paya Jaras Hilir) 气象站记录到 48 毫米的降雨量，苏邦河 (Sungai Subang) 的强劲水流侵蚀了河岸，导致桥梁坍塌。

坍塌完全切断了连接甘榜古布加查和巴亚加拉斯希利尔的主要道路，出于安全考虑，当局已关闭该道路，禁止所有车辆通行。

为了缓解交通拥堵，交通管理计划（TMP）已经启动，前往 Merbau Sempak 和 Kubu Gajah 的驾车者将改道经 Jalan Merbau Sempak 前往努鲁伊曼清真寺。

前往 Paya Jaras Hilir 的驾车人士可以通过联邦 54 号公路 (FT54) 使用 Jalan Paya Jaras Hilir。

JKR表示，将安装一座临时贝利桥作为中期措施，以恢复受影响地区之间的交通。

与此同时，雪兰莪消防及救援局（JBPM）行动部助理总监Ashrul Riezal Asbar表示，山洪还影响到双溪毛糯、巴耶贾拉斯、Kampung Melayu Subang、万挠和莎阿南的几个地区。

另据马来西亚公路管理局（LLM）交通管理中心监控的闭路电视（CCTV）录像显示，主要高速公路上的洪水已经开始消退，包括莎阿南立交桥在内的部分地区。

LLM发言人表示，莎阿南立交桥北行方向的右侧和中间车道已重新开放通行。

“然而，该立交桥的南行车道仍暂时关闭，以便清理碎片并进行安全检查，之后才会完全重新开放。

“到目前为止，还没有其他高速公路受到洪水影响的报告，”他告诉马新社。——马新社
