The Sungai Besi–Ulu Klang Elevated Expressway (SUKE) is a 24.4-kilometre (15.2-mile) three-laned, dual carriageway, controlled-access highway that is being constructed in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, Malaysia. The expressway will run on top of the existing Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 between Sungai Besi and Ulu Klang, with the intent of reducing traffic along the road.

Route description

The expressway begins in Ulu Klang, Selangor in the north, then runs above Middle Ring Road 2 to Ampang. The expressway then diverts southeast through Ampang Town, before turning back southwest through Cheras and Alam Damai. The expressway finally turns westwards to meet Middle Ring Road 2 again before terminating at Sungai Besi, where the road continues into the Shah Alam Expressway.

History

The increasing traffic along the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 along the links of Ulu Klang, Ampang, Pandan Indah, Cheras, Bandar Tun Razak and Bandar Tasik Selatan facilitated the need for increasing road capacity. Prolintas proposed that the expressway to be built to meet these requirements. The expressway will act as an alternative route to Kajang from Ulu Klang. The project was allocated RM5.3 billion in the Budget 2015.

Features
