KUALA LUMPUR, May 6 (Bernama) -- The Smart tunnel was reopened to
south-bound traffic at 7 am today after it was closed on Wednesday to divert
floodwaters, Syarikat Mengurus Air Banjir & Terowong Sdn Bhd (Smart) announced
in a statement.
The tunnel was closed to traffic at 2.40 pm on May 2 after its flood
drainage system was activated following heavy rain in the city so as to avert
floods in the Masjid Jamek, Jalan Masjid India, Dataran Merdeka and Lebuh Ampang
areas, it said.
Smart apologised to motorists for any inconvenience they may have faced
during the period of the shutdown.
It said the status of the Smart tunnel operation can be gleaned from the
www.smarttunnel.com.my website, twitter@smarttunnel, facebook@smarttunnel or by
contacting 1-300-88-7188.
