The Sungai Besi Expressway, abbreviated as SBE, is a major controlled-access highway in the Klang Valley region of Peninsular Malaysia. The 28.3abbr=offNaNabbr=off expressway runs between Serdang and Ampang, Selangor through southeastern Kuala Lumpur, parallel and directly adjacent to the North–South Expressway and the Kuala Lumpur–Seremban Expressway.

Route

The expressway begins at Serdang on the outskirts of Universiti Putra Malaysia, where it continues from the Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway. The expressway then runs northwards immediately east of the North–South Expressway through Seri Kembangan into Sungai Besi. The expressway continues alongside the Kuala Lumpur–Seremban Expressway, running through Bandar Tasik Selatan, Kuchai Lama, Salak South and Cheras. The expressway then diverts northeastwards to Pandan Jaya and Pandan Indah in Ampang, where it terminates.

History

Construction of the original 16abbr=offNaNabbr=off expressway from Jalan Istana to Serdang began in 1997, by Road Builder (M) Holdings Bhd (later acquired by IJM Corporation Berhad in 2007). The expressway used to be Selangor state road, B13, and the official name was Jalan Kuala Lumpur–Sungai Besi. During construction, the status of the road was changed to a tolled expressway and it was redesignated E9. The expressway commenced tolling operation on 15 May 1999.

The project to upgrade the Sungai Besi interchange from a half-diamond interchange to a non-stop interchange started in 2005 and completed in 2007.

The project to upgrade the Balakong interchange from a T-junction to a directional-T interchange started in 2004 and completed in 2006.

The Salak Jaya toll plaza was abolished on 24 February 2009.

Besraya Eastern Extension Expressway

Following the abolishment of toll collections at the Salak Jaya toll plaza on 25 February 2009, the then Works Minister, Mohd. Zin Mohamad announced the future expansion of the expressway, known as the Besraya Eastern Extension Expressway (BEE), whose concession would be awarded to Besraya. The expressway was completed on 2013 and was opened to traffic on 15 April 2014.

The 12.3 km (7.6 mi) extension, which is mostly elevated, connects Salak South (North) interchange on the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 1 to the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 near Pandan Indah. The 12.3km (07.6miles) extension elevated expressway has interchanges at Salak South, Jalan Istana, Taman Ikan Emas, Jalan Loke Yew, Jalan Cheras Lama, Shamelin Perkasa, MRR2 North (where Jalan Pandan Jaya intersects the MRR2), MRR2 South (where Jalan Pandan Indah intersects the MRR2), Pandan Jaya and Jalan Pandan Utama near Pandan Indah.[1]
