Representatives from various residents associations in the area had on Tuesday handed over a petition with more than 11,000 signatures to the council to call for the road to remain open.

“We’re are now exploring all options that will benefit the residents,” said Wong.
Spokesmen from Highway concessionaires PLUS and Sprint have said that they have no expansion plans for their respective parts of the highway in the area. |
