KM 11.95 on the Gua Musang-Jeli stretch, damaged by a sinkhole and landslide, is now under repair and is expected to fully reopen by the end of the month.
Authorities have already filled the sinkhole, which was discovered around 7:30AM yesterday. The damage occurred while contractors were carrying out ongoing road maintenance.
Mohd Roshdi Ismail, chairman of the Gua Musang District Disaster Management Committee, said the Public Works Department (JKR) had been informed of the incident.
“The contractors are always on-site, ready to respond immediately if anything happens,” he said.

He added that ongoing work to repair drainage in the area contributed to the formation of the sinkhole. The total cost for fixing the road and drainage is around RM700,000.
"Currently, only one lane is open to traffic," Roshdi added.
The roadwork comes ahead of the monsoon season, with authorities urging caution as repair progress continues.
