Today the 34.5km Shah Alam Expressway is the gateway to booming urban development around Bukit Jalil.
In the past when one mentioned Klang or Shah Alam, often the conversation would touch on how far it was from KL city centre and how long it took to travel. Such exchange probably took place in the early millennium when development did not stretch any further than Subang Jaya.
The journey from there to Shah Alam and Klang in the late 1990s was either through the busy Federal Highway or the Shah Alam Expressway (SAE) with sprawling greenery and oil palm estates on both sides.
