KOTA KINABALU: Road users in the state have been advised to use alternative routes following the landslide on Kota Kinabalu-Sandakan Road, near Ranau, last night.
Department of Public Works (JKR) Ranau engineer Mac Glen F. Lojuman in a statement said the landslide at 9.40pm had caused the main road to be cut off and the road was temporarily closed for the purpose of cleaning and rehabilitation works.
