E37: East-West Link Expressway / Salak Expressway

E37: East-West Link Expressway (17 September 2016)


East-West Link Expressway is a highway on the southern part of Kuala Lumpur. An extension of the Federal Highway, it connects the highway in the west to the interchange of Jalan Cheras and the Cheras-Kajang Expressway (E7). The East-West Link Expressway is popularly known as the Salak Expressway. It opened to the public on 17 August, 1995.

Some websites, such as Wikipedia, states that the East-West Link Expressway carries the expressway code of E37 which confuses it with the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway. In fact the expressway code of E37 does not appear anywhere on the East-West Link Expressway. This is probably based on the highway being maintained by toll concessionaire ANIH Berhad, which also maintains the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway. Signages on the gantries along the East-West Link Expressway are white text on blue background, not green background, indicating that the East-West Link Expressway as a Malaysian "highway" rather than a true "expressway". Since 17 May, 2011, toll collection on this highway has been abolished.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
