KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 — A landslide following heavy rain yesterday has resulted in the full closure of a section of Jalan Rawang-Kuala Selangor (B27) at Section 9.90 in the Gombak district.

The Selangor Public Works Department (JKR) said the landslide, which occurred at 11 pm, involved failures of both the upslope and downslope, causing part of the road structure at the affected section to collapse.

The agency said the landslide also brought down trees, blocking the entire road to traffic.

“The road closure was implemented by the Gombak District JKR, while information on alternative routes was disseminated to road users through the Facebook pages of JKR Selangor and Gombak District JKR yesterday morning.
