KL’s new highway with a view

Top-notch highway: Long-suffering motorists in the Klang Valley, especially regular users of Middle Ring Road 2, have good news. Phase I of the RM5.7bil Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Elevated Expressway (SUKE) will open soon. The 24.4km expressway, which connects Sri Petaling and Bukit Antarabangsa, will also improve traffic flow in surrounding areas such as Hulu Langat. Photo: GLENN GUAN/The Star

KUALA LUMPUR: The Sungai Besi–Ulu Kelang Elevated Expressway (SUKE) is looking to be more than a highway for motorists.

Aside from improving connectivity between other highways and serving as a bypass for congested trunk roads in the Klang Valley, its developer Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (Prolintas) intends to leverage on the spectacular view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline to draw visitors to its yet to be built rest stop.
