Sultan Yahya Petra bridge closed to all vehicles

The Sultan Yahya Petra Bridge connecting Kota Baharu town to Pasir Pekan in Tumpat, is now closed to all vehicles after the water in Sungai Kelantan rose above the bridge.

Kota Baharu district police chief, ACP Rohaimi Md Isa, when contacted, said the bridge was closed to all traffic as the situation was dangerous to road users.

Several areas around Kota Baharu have been inundated by flood water since last night with the worst hit areas being Gua Musang and Kuala Krai in Ulu Kelantan.
