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 in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, Malaysia.

Route description

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