Traffic congestion on MRR2 (Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2) will soon end upon completion
of the Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Elevated (SUKE) Highway, which is expected to be operational
by 1Q22. SUKE highway is being constructed as an effective traffic dispersal system to cope
with current mobility problems and is expected to reduce congestion on MRR2 by 24%, Jalan
Ampang by 36% and Jalan Loke Yew by 12% during peak hours.
The 24.4km highway is built by Projek Lintasan Sungai Besi Ulu Klang Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned
company of Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (Prolintas), with an estimated cost of RM10
billion. SUKE will connect with the Shah Alam Expressway (Kesas), Kuala Lumpur-Seremban
Expressway, Sungai Besi Expressway, Cheras-Kajang Expressway, MRR2, Ampang-Kuala
Lumpur Elevated Expressway (Akleh) and Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE).
The two-way SUKE Highway starts from the Sri Petaling junction and goes up to Ulu Kelang. The project, which commenced in 2016, has four construction packages which include CA1, CA2, CA3 and
CA4. CA1 is the beginning of SUKE which connects Kesas or Bukit Jalil National Sports
Complex via the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Highway and Besraya towards Ulu Kelang. It will
improve accessibility and link northbound traffic through Kuala Lumpur city centre without the
need to face congestion on the MRR2. CA2 is an alignment with a multi-storey structure along
the MRR2. Meanwhile, CA3 on Jalan Len Seng (Zone 2) offers new scenery with attractive
sidewalks and street lights. CA4 is set to be the tallest bridge in the Klang Valley standing at
57m above ground level and crosses the MRT Line 1 and Grand Saga Highway.
