GEORGE TOWN, Oct 31 (Bernama) -- Jalan P14 Jalan Tun Sardon, near here will reopen to traffic starting at 8 pm tonight after the route was closed since the evening of Oct 23 due to a landslide.
State Infrastructure, Transport and Digital Committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said the work of breaking rocks, removing branches and trees blocking the road and clearing the road due to the landslide had been successfully completed at about 5 pm today.
"The Penang Public Works Department (JKR) has been working tirelessly on site to reopen the road for public use and with a little more work remaining on site, Jalan Tun Sardon will reopen from 8.00 pm.
"However, the installation of canvas to cover the collapsed slope has only reached 70 per cent and work is still ongoing on site," he said in a statement today.
He said road users are advised to follow the Traffic Management Plan (TMP) installed along the route and to drive carefully.
