History

The Kuala Lumpur-Klang Highway FT2 was opened to traffic on 14 January 1959.^[1] The highway was intended as a replacement of the existing road system known as Jalan Klang Lama, Persiaran Selangor, Jalan Sungai Rasau and Jalan Batu Tiga Lama, allowing speeds of up to 60 mph.^[2] As a result, Jalan Klang Lama was downgraded into Selangor State Road B14.^[3] The Kuala Lumpur-Klang Highway FT2 was later being upgraded into a controlled-access highway by replacing the former at-grade intersection with grade-separated interchanges, making the highway as the nation's first controlled-access expressway.^[4] The upgraded controlled-access highway is now known as the Federal Highway Route 2.
