SMART Tunnel (E38)

E38: SMART Tunnel

SMART Tunnel is a subterranean vehicular and stormwater tunnel in downtown Kuala Lumpur. The name is an acronym for Stormwater Management And Road Tunnel. The tunnel comprises a motorway tunnel with a bypass flood water tunnel underneath it. When there is no flood, the motorway tunnel is open to traffic, but when there is a stop, the bypass flood water tunnel is activated, and the motorway tunnel is closed to traffic. Once all vehicles have exited the tunnel, the flood gates are open to allow flood water into the bypass tunnel. Once the water has flowed through, the flood gates are closed and the motorway tunnel reopened to traffic.

The SMART Tunnel was built at a cost of RM1.887 billion, it has a length of 9.7 km (6 miles). Of this, the motorway tunnel is just 4 km (2.49 miles). Nevertheless, upon its completion, it still became the longest road tunnel in the country after the Genting Sempah Tunnel. The motorway tunnel carries a Malaysian expressway code of E38. The tunnel accepts entries by private cars and taxis only. The toll is RM3 per vehicle paid upon entry using Touch 'n Go and SmartTAG.

Entrances to the SMART Tunnel are at Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Kampung Pandan, East-West Link Expressway and Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
