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

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.
