Daily Traffic Nightmare in Klang

At a standstill: Construction works near the Kota Bridge in Klang is causing traffic congestion in the town. (Picture from thestar)

As an origin klang people, I hate to say..I hate Klang now.. I hate traffic jam. Since both of us are working outside Klang, Willy in Old Klang Road and me in Damansara, we have to face this freaking traffic jam EVERYDAY. I wish we could move into a new home in Setia Alam now!!Willy non-stop keep complaining about reaching late to work despite driving like mad. Just imagine we have to spend at least 1/2 - 1 hour driving speedmeter ranging always between 0-20 kmph across MPK Building to Klang city side which before only took us 5 minutes NOT ONLY ON WEEKDAYS BUT WEEKEND. We have to endure this heartache every morning and evening. For not being stupid we even making sort of tricks to try many alternative roads to avoid this super duper traffic jam but still somehow need to pass thru the massive traffic flow between Klang City and Bridges. This daily traffic chaos makes us really 'sakit hati' and 'bosan'.

Choked: A view of the construction site in Klang where motorists have to inch their way through (Picture from thestar)

There is a huge construction by city council which to my opinion does not even concerns the priority of motorist in Klang. They are currently widening the road nearby, tear down the overhead bridge to build another bigger one, constructing third bridge and supposing it will overcome the traffic problem in the future, but the project has been taken place from early last year and projected to be completed by end of next year. 2 yeas has gone but we don;t see many improvement yet.

Hi Fara..i guess you've gone to HK by now. Traffic is getting worst here, this afternoon we've spent more almost 1 hour on the road just to buy our favorite nasi ayam in town.
