The South Klang Valley Expressway or SKVE
is an expressway in the southern part of Klang Valley, Malaysia's most densely populated region. This 51.7 km (32.1 mi) dual-carriageway provides links to the booming towns in southern Klang Valley, including the country's administrative capital, Putrajaya. Section 1B of this expressway between Cyberjaya to Bandar Saujana Putra was opened to traffic on 1 July 2010[1].

[edit] Route background
The Kilometre Zero of the expressway is located right after the Uniten Interchange at the Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway
.
[edit] History
The first 7.95km (section 1A) stretch that starts at the UNITEN interchange in Bangi is toll free, and had been open for several years. It was built by the Malaysian Public Works Department (JKR). The section 1B, 2 and 3 stretch of SKVE are to be built by SKVE Holdings Sdn Bhd. The section 1B stretch of the expressway between Cyberjaya to Bandar Saujana Putra was completed in June 2010.
The section 2 stretch of the expressway from Bandar Saujana Putra towards Teluk Panglima Garang measuring 12.96km long would have been completed in 2011. SKVE’s last stretch is the 18.81km long section 3 and connects to Carey Island before terminating at the Pulau Indah interchange, serving as a direct link between Putrajaya and Westports in Port Klang[2].
[edit] Criticism
Section 1A of the expressway (toll-free) is currently in a sad state of affairs due to poor maintenance, with most of its street lights not functioning (leaving many dangerous stretches and bends unlit at night) and wrecked guardrails lay unreplaced at accident sites.
[edit] Toll systems
The South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) is using the closed toll system.
