The Ampang-Sri Petaling LRT line is experiencing delays this morning on safety grounds, due to a problem with the track near the Bandaraya station.

Rapid Rail says its because of structural damage to an overhead bridge there, which is believed to have been caused by nearby construction work.

As a result, trains between the Masjid Jamek and Bandaraya stations have been suspended, until officials determine that it is safe to resume service.

Rapid Rail adds that feeder buses are being provided for passengers affected by the disruption.
