Highway system | |
The East–West Link Expressway or Salak Expressway is an extension of Malaysia's Federal Highway from Seputeh to Taman Connaught in Cheras. (not to be confused with the East-West Highway route that runs from Gerik in Perak to Jeli in Kelantan) This expressway is part of the Kuala Lumpur Southeast Dispersal Link Scheme.
Some maps label the section of the expressway from Seputeh Interchange to Salak South Expressway as a part of the Federal Highway Route (FHR2), but the appellation is incorrect as the East–West Link Expressway was acquired by Metramac Corporation Sdn Bhd (MetaCorp) and not by the PLUS Malaysia Berhad which maintains most parts of the Federal Highway. In 2007, the expressway was coded as together with the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway.
Route background
