New Klang Valley Expressway, NKVE, (E1), Malaysia

     Tweet   

Tools [an error occurred while processing this directive]

The New Klang Valley Expressway, NKVE, (E1) is a major expressway in Malaysia. It runs from Bukit Raja in Selangor to Jalan Duta. It allows people heading between the north and south of Peninsula Malaysia to bypass entering the Kuala Lumpur city centre. The expressway is approximately 36.2 kilometers in length, with kilometer 0 at the Bukit Raja Toll Plaza, km 35 at the Jalan Duta Interchange, and the Bukit Raja Interchange at km -1.2.



Example of KL Expressway madness: so much information that two signboards are required - when all can be simplified into one (2 January, 2010)

The New Klang Valley Expressway channels the traffic from the North-South Expressway Northern Route (E1) through to the ELITE Highway (E6)and onwards to the North-South Expressway Southern Route (E2), and vice versa. Rather confusingly, the NKVE carries the same expressway code of E1 as the North-South Expressway Northern Route.

Thanks to the people who name the highways, the NKVE stretch between the Bukit Lanjan Interchange and the Jalan Duta Interchange is also labelled as the North South Expressway on some maps, and as the Jalan Duta Sungai Buloh Expressway on others. Unfortunately in Malaysia, things are done to ensure that they don't make sense. As you drive that stretch, you don't see any of the Exit numbers mentioned - just as well, as they would only confuse you more.

Please view the map below. I hope it helps you make sense of the geography of the expressway.
