The Sungai Besi–Ulu Klang Elevated Expressway (SUKE) Sungai Besi–Ulu Klang Elevated Expressway is a 24.4-kilometre (15.2-mile) three-laned, dual carriageway, controlled-access highway that is being constructed in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, Malaysia. The expressway will run on top of the existing Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 between Sungai Besi and Ulu Klang, with the intent of reducing traffic along the road.

Route description

The expressway begins in Ulu Klang, Selangor in the north, then runs above Middle Ring Road 2 to Ampang. The expressway then diverts southeast through Ampang Town, before turning back southwest through Cheras and Alam Damai. The expressway finally turns westwards to meet Middle Ring Road 2 again before terminating at Sungai Besi, where the road continues into the Shah Alam Expressway.

The project was allocated RM5.3 billion in the Budget 2015.

She broke her left arm and collar bone due to the accident and the contractors involved were fined RM180,000. The investigation discovered that the subcontractor did not follow the proper work procedures and also had a site supervisor with no accreditation.

Six months later in March 2021, an overhead bridge under construction collapsed when a trailer hit the steel scaffolding the bridge nearby Bandar Tasik Selatan. The trailer however was not involved with the project and the driver was tested positive for drugs. The trailer was said to be overloaded when the accident happened.
