GUA MUSANG, Oct 25 — A temporary detour at FT008 Section 205.556 along the Gua Musang-Kota Bharu road near the Kesedar Ethnobotanical Recreation Park here was opened to light vehicles at noon today.

In a statement, the Gua Musang Public Works Department (JKR) said the detour, built using a Bailey bridge, was constructed at the site of a sinkhole on the road.

The detour, which is part of the Central Spine Road (LTU) Project Packages 3B and 3C, is open only to light vehicles.

Road users have been advised to follow temporary traffic signs and safety instructions, reduce their speed and exercise caution when passing through the area.

They should also plan their journeys in advance, while heavy vehicles are advised to use alternative routes.

The FT008 federal road near Kesedar Ethnobotanical Recreation Park was closed on Oct 10 following the formation of a sinkhole about eight metres deep. — Bernama
