Phase One of the Sungai Besi–Ulu Kelang Elevated Expressway (SUKE) has opened to passenger traffic in Malaysia. Riders will have toll-free access to the highway for 30 days. SUKE is expected to be an alternative to other expressways such as MRR2, Jalan Ampang and Jalan Loke Yew, and reduce traffic congestion by 36 per cent. The highway is expected to reduce travel time between Sungai Besi and Ulu Kelang from 75 minutes to 25 minutes.
Construction on a 7.8 km section and three other intersections that are still underway. Work on this stretch is expected to be completed in Q1 of 2023.
Once completed, the SUKE Expressway will connects many key highways in the Klang Valley including the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Highway (KL-Seremban), Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS), Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE), Cheras-Kajang Expressway (CKE), Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2), Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH), Sungai Besi Highway (BESRAYA) and the East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE).
