Elmina Interchange, GCE reopened to users, says Prolintas


KUALA LUMPUR: The exit and entrance to the Elmina Interchange in both directions from the Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE), which were closed following the aircraft crash on Thursday (Aug 17), was reopened to highway users from 3.40pm Friday (Aug 18).

Prolintas Group of Companies (Prolintas), in a statement, said the reopened route involves the entrance ramp from Shah Alam to Elmina west, and the entrance ramp to Elmina east from Rawang, along with the exit ramp to Shah Alam.

"One of the two lanes of the road from Elmina west to Rawang is still closed for the authorities to carry on with investigations at the scene of the incident. Nevertheless, users can still access the highway.

"The GCE operations team has been to the incident location to observe the damage and is currently carrying out immediate road repairs,” the statement said.

Prolintas noted that street cleaning has also been carried out by the Fire and Rescue Department team earlier.

A Beechcraft Model 390 (Premier 1) light business jet aircraft flying from Langkawi to the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang crashed at about 2.50pm Thursday, killing the six passengers and two crew on board, as well as a motorcyclist and a motorist on the ground. - Bernama
