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.
