KUALA LUMPUR: The SMART Tunnel has been completely closed to users in preparation for flood operations following heavy rain since this evening.

In a Twitter post, the tunnel operator said the closure was implemented after receiving instructions from the irrigation and drainage department.

“Mode 3 has been activated. In this mode, the tunnel is closed to traffic by the SMART Traffic Control Centre as floodwaters are still being diverted,” according to the post. - FMT
