Arriving in Kuala Lumpur from the eastArriving in Kuala Lumpur from the east (14 January, 2010)


If you are driving to Kuala Lumpur from one of the east coast states, such as from Pahang, Terengganu or Kelantan, you are more likely than not to be using the Karak Expressway (E8). This is the main access from the East Coast.

On the Karak Expressway, you will enter Kuala Lumpur via the Middle Ring Road II (Route 28) and the DUKE Expressway (E33) to reach Jalan Kuching, assuming your are planning to reach downtown Kuala Lumpur, with the destination being Dataran Merdeka.



After passing the Gombak Toll Plaza, keep right for Kuala Lumpur. This takes you to the Middle Ring Road 2.

Exit the Middle Ring Road 2 to the Duke Expressway (E33). At Exit 3303 , keep right to continue on the Duke Expressway in the direction of downtown via Jalan Kuching.

After a distance, you reach Exit 3301 , which is where you exit the Duke Expressway for Jalan Kuching. Jalan Kuching takes you all the way to downtown Kuala Lumpur. The map assumes you are going to Dataran Merdeka (B).
