KL Monorail suspends service in affected areas following tunnel collapse

The Monorail service between Imbi Monorail Station and Hang Tuah Monorail Station has been suspended until further notice following the collapse of an underground tunnel that was being constructed at the intersection of Jalan Pudu and Jalan Hang Tuah this morning.

Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad (Prasarana) said following the partial closure, the monorail service would only operate between the Titiwangsa Monorail Station and Imbi Monorail Station; and between the KL Sentral Monorail Station and Hang Tuah Monorail Station.

“RapidKL shuttle bus services have also been deployed to accommodate monorail commuters between the KL Sentral and Titiwangsa Monorail Stations.

“Frequency of the shuttle buses, however, is highly determined by traffic condition, which had been adversely affected by the incident and the resulting road closure.

“Commuters are advised to make alternative plans in view of the road closure,” Prasarana said in a statement.

Prasarana said those planning to continue their journey on LRT Ampang Line are recommended to exit at the Imbi Monorail Station and take a short walk to the Hang Tuah LRT/Monorail Station.

“Those planning to continue their journey on the LRT Kelana Jaya Line are recommended to take the monorail from Imbi to Bukit Nanas and take a short walk to the Dang Wangi LRT Station,” said Prasarana.
