[edit] Route background

[edit] History
The purpose to build the North-South Expressway bypass from Kuala Lumpur had begun in 1992. The construction started in 1994 and was completed in 1996. In 1997, all of the sections in the North-South Expressway Central Link and KLIA Expressway was opened to traffic. While the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) was opened on 27 June 1998 it became a busing traffic flowing from north to south especially Kuala Lumpur. The Putrajaya Link which was connected to Putrajaya was opened in 2000. On 1 September 2003, The company Expressway Lingkaran Tengah Sdn Bhd, (ELITE) was now a member of PLUS Expressway Berhad.
The Expressway is divided into three sections as follows :
- Section 1 of the Expressway, which extends from the Shah Alam Interchange (NKVE) to the USJ (Hicom East) Interchange, inclusive of the ramps in (Ebor North) and out (Ebor South) connecting the Expressway to the Jalan Subang-Batu Tiga
.
- Section 2 which extends from just South of the USJ Interchange to the Nilai (North) Interchange and includes that part of the KLIA Expressway up to the bridge crossing Sg. Langat.
- Section 3 includes Putrajaya Interchange, Bandar Baru Nilai Interchange, Salak Tinggi Interchange and the -2.74 km continuation of the KLIA Expressway (KLIA Expressway Extension)
, just south of Sg. Langat up to the boundary of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
