SHAH ALAM: The Shah Alam toll plaza and the interchange operated by PLUS has been closed due to floods which struck the location at about 2pm.

Currently, mandatory exits have been activated at the Subang and Seafield toll plazas for southbound and northbound traffic, PLUS said in a statement.

Highway users who are cut off between Setia Alam to Shah Alam and Subang towards Shah Alam/Elite Highway are required to make an emergency u-turn via a temporary access provided by PLUS.

"We regret the inconvenience caused by this flooding due to the continuous heavy rain in the last 24 hours.
