After years of waiting, at last SPE is open to public usage from Friday midnight 3 Nov 2023.

Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway to fully open from 11.59pm Friday night, no toll charge until Dec 2

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 3): The 20.7km Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway (SPE) will be officially open in its entirety to motorists at 11.59pm on Friday .

This comes as the previously unopened 16.3km stretch of Sections 1 to 3 — from Kerinchi to Setiawangsa — of the highway to be open. A 4.4km Section 4 — stretching from Setiawangsa and Taman Melawati — has been open since December 2021.

According to Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, who officiated the highway’s official launch, toll charges at the three toll plazas — namely Chan Sow Lin, Ampang and Setiawangsa — situated on the stretch, will be exempted until Dec 2.

After the one-month period, cars will be charged the highway’s toll rate of RM3.50. With the highway fully opened, Alexander said it is expected to be used by 100,000 vehicles daily.

"The SPE connects with several other highways, such as the SPRINT, AKLEH, DUKE and MRR2, and will increase efficiency of the network and reduce congestion in Kuala Lumpur," he added.

Should be nice to cycle
See if I can tomorrow I'll continue to cycle another few km on this new highway after my MTB .

Btw this road agak bumpy la.
And connection between ramp to climb, most of the ramp of spe too steep.
Paling tak boleh blah junction entry and exit. Jem kaw kaw sebelum buka.

Bumpy no issues
My MTB is full suspension. 170 front 160 read.

Hahaha
Kayuh sampai 90kmj ke bro.

Can’t wait for the mega jam at the OKR/Mid Valley exit. Such a design I foresee horrendous flow.

Hahaha
Speeding!

Cannot la.
My highest gear is only 10x32

Rm3.5 per toll?
If drive one end to another end would need rm10.5?
10.5 x 100,000 cars faily = rm1.05m daily

No wonder everyone wants to build a highway
