Rohaimi said the roads connecting the two East Coast states with Terengganu including the East Coast Expressway 2 (LPT2) and Jalan Pantai from Kemaman to Besut were still passable as of 8 pm.
He said so far, only a few roads in three districts, namely Setiu, Dungun and Besut were impassable after being flooded since 8 am today.
"In Setiu, the road stretch that cannot be passed is KM67-68 of Jalan Kuala Terengganu-Kota Bharu which is near the Kampung Balik Bukit Petronas station and is closed to light vehicles.
"Motorists can use alternative routes, namely via Jalan (Jln) Batu Rakit-Pantai Penarik-Saujana-Kuala Besut-Tok Bali-Bachok," he said in a media statement tonight.
According to Rohaimi, the Padang Luas-Bukit Yong route in the Besut district is closed to all types of vehicles and motorists can use Jln Pantai Kuala Besut-Tok Bali-Bachok as an alternative.
"In Dungun, the route involved is KM76 of Jln Jerangau-Jabor near the Bukit Besi Road Transport Department (JPJ) Weigh Station. As an alternative, road users can use the Paka Toll-LPT 2-Bukit Besi Toll route," he said, while urging motorists to plan their journeys and use alternative routes. - BERNAMA
