Highway system

The North–South Expressway Central Link North–South Expressway Central Link also known as ELITE, is a 63-kilometre (39-mile) controlled-access highway in Malaysia, running between Shah Alam in Selangor and Nilai in Negeri Sembilan.[1] The expressway joins the separated northern and southern sections of the North–South Expressway, allowing interstate traffic to bypass Kuala Lumpur. The expressway also serves as a primary access route to Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

History

[edit]
ELITE highway in UEP Subang Jaya

Then originally unnamed, the Central Link of the North-South Expressway was built by United Engineers Malaysia Berhad at a cost of RM 1 billion. The concession agreement was signed in April 1994. Construction would start in June 1994 and would be completed by August 1997. UEM would also use the expertise and staff of PLUS which was responsible for the completion of the North-South Expressway.[2]

The first section, between Shah Alam and USJ, was opened in June 1996. In October 1997, the remainder of the expressway opened to traffic. The Putrajaya Link was opened in 2000.[citation needed]

In September 2003, the company Expressway Lingkaran Tengah Sdn Bhd (ELITE) became a member company of PLUS Expressways.

On 28 February 2013, a bridge being built by the Selangor State Development Corporation at the interchange to Bandar Nusaputra on the Putrajaya Link collapsed due to a water pipe leak. No casualties were reported.[citation needed]

  • Closed toll system (refer to PLUS)
  • Batu Tiga flyover longest in NSE network
  • Act as bypass from bustling Kuala Lumpur travelling from north to south and vice versa
  • Smooth access to KLIA
  • PLUS Speedway (formerly ELITE Speedway) in USJ Rest and Service Area is the first highway go-kart circuit in Malaysia
  • Safety CS Team (PROPEL) roadworks

Toll system

[edit]

ELITE operates using a closed toll system throughout its entire route, with toll plazas built at all access points. The toll rate for each vehicle is proportional to the distance between the vehicle's entry point and exit point.

ELITE integrates its toll collection system with New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) and the northern and southern routes of the North-South Expressway (NSE) up to their respective terminuses at Sungai Besi (NKVE-NSE Northern Route), Bukit Raja (ELITE-NKVE), Juru (ELITE-NSE Southern Route) and Skudai (NSE Southern Route). As such, vehicles traveling throughout the aforementioned expressway network will be charged with a toll rate equivalent to the sum of the rates calculated for each expressway.

Vehicles exiting ELITE to the aforementioned expressways will not pass through any toll plazas at the interchanges between the respective highways.
