KM78 of the Gua Musang-Lojing Road (from Gua Musang towards Cameron Highlands), near Kampung Jekjok, Pos Brooke, is completely closed to all vehicles starting today.
The Public Works Department (JKR) stated in a release that the road is closed to all vehicles from today until further notice due to a sinkhole in the area.
“Road users are advised to use the suggested alternative routes and to always exercise caution and plan their journeys.
“Users of this route can take the alternative route from Gua Musang to Sungai Koyan, Pahang, via Ringlet, Tapah, and Ipoh, Perak,” it said.
The most recent sinkhole incident on September 12 marks the fifth sinkhole along this route, which has necessitated the closure of one lane on the road from Gua Musang to Lojing Highlands.
The first sinkhole at this location was detected on November 23 of last year, leading to the closure of the route to all vehicles.
Subsequently, on December 12 of last year, a second sinkhole, nine meters deep, occurred at the same location, five meters away from the first sinkhole.
Additionally, on March 15 of this year, another sinkhole—the third since November of last year—was reported at the same location.
On March 27, the route was reopened to all light vehicles in conjunction with the Aidil
