Duta–Ulu Klang Expressway, DUKE, is the main expressway network in Klang Valley, Malaysia. The 18 km (11 mi) expressway connects New Klang Valley Expressway's Jalan Duta Interchange to Taman Hillview Interchange on Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 in Ulu Klang. The expressway was constructed to provide the "missing link" between New Klang Valley Expressway , Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway and Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 . This expressway is also known as the Kuala Lumpur Northeast Dispersal Link Scheme.
In addition to improving connectivity, DUKE also disperse traffic from the city to the suburban range through several routes in and out of several branches of the main intersection. Through DUKE, it can move from one part to other parts of Kuala Lumpur in a short time, by bypassing congested traffic areas, such as Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 1 and Kuala Lumpur Inner Ring Road.

DUKE Extension Expressway Project
The phase two development of the Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE) will be build by Ekovest Bhd and will start in two weeks at a construction cost of RM1.183 billion. Phase two, which will entail the construction of an elevated highway that will complement the existing DUKE, will be completed in 2015. The DUKE extension will comprise two additional links, namely the Sri Damansara Link and the Tun Razak Link. Both links are proposed to have dual carriageways and the Tun Razak link will be about 9 kilometres in length while the Sri Damansara Link will be 7 kilometres long.
