KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 — The second phase of the Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Elevated Expressway (SUKE) will be opened to traffic at midnight tonight, and will be toll-free for two weeks.
Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the second phase of the SUKE Expressway involved the remaining 7.8 kilometres of the main line starting from Sri Petaling, the Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS) to the Cheras-Kajang interchange.
The 24.4-km-long SUKE main line starts from the Sri Petaling intersection and ends at the Bukit Antarabangsa intersection.
“The line can save travel time from Sri Petaling to Ulu Kelang to 25 minutes compared to 75 minutes via the existing route.
“Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (PROLINTAS) expects some users of Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) will switch to the SUKE Expressway after the full opening of its main line,” he said when launching the second phase of the expressway at the Alam Damai Toll Plaza here today. — Bernama
