North-South Expressway (NSE) Northern Route, E 1 AH 2 is the northern part of Malaysia's longest expressway, the North-South Expressway. It is situated on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, linking the northern states of Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor.

Contents

[edit] Termini

The NSE Northern Route begins at the Malaysian-Thai Border (the town of Bukit Kayu Hitam in Kedah state) in the north, where it connects to the Phetkasem highway ( AH 2) in Thailand. Its southern terminus is at the Bukit Lanjan exit in Selangor.

[edit] Landmarks

Its main landmarks include the Penang Bridge which is Malaysia's longest bridge, Sungai Perak Bridge (Jambatan Sultan Azlan Shah) and the Menora Tunnel.

[edit] Current developments

[edit] Non-stop straight route (Jelapang-Ipoh Selatan)

Jelapang toll plaza and Ipoh Selatan toll plaza will be demolished in 2008 to make a non-stop route across Ipoh. The decision to demolish both toll plazas were made as a result of accidents which happened at Jelapang toll plaza where most of them involved heavy vehicles. Since the toll plaza was opened in 28 September 1987, there were many accident cases at Jelapang toll plaza which involved heavy vehicles which had brake failures due to hard braking when proceeding downhill to the toll plaza. On 7 June 2008, the new Ipoh North toll plaza (South bound) replacing old Jelapang toll plaza is now opened to traffic.

[edit] Six-lane widening works

[edit] Phase 1: Rawang-Tanjung Malim

The 6-lane stretch which is currently running from Kuala Lumpur (including New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE)) to Rawang Interchange EXIT 116 will be expanded to Tanjung Malim Interchange EXIT 121.

[edit] Phase 2: Tanjung Malim-Slim River

Meanwhile, in the next phase of these works, the 6-lane stretch will be expanded from Tanjung Malim Interchange EXIT 121 to Slim River Interchange EXIT 126.
