Ampang–Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway
road in Malaysia
E12 Ampang–Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH), (Malay: Lebuhraya Bertingkat Ampang–Kuala Lumpur; Chinese: 安邦–吉隆坡高架大道), is the first elevated highway in Malaysia. The 7.9 km (4.9 mi) elevated highway connects Ampang (in Selangor state) and Kuala Lumpur. This highway was built to reduce traffic congestion at Jalan Ampang and make access to the city more convenient. Motorcycles and other vehicles with two wheels were banned from using this highway for safety reasons; the ban on motorcycles was lifted on 19 June 2008 because of escalating fuel prices.
Route background
The Kilometre Zero is located at the entrance from Jalan Raja Abdullah at Jalan Sultan Ismail Interchange, Kuala Lumpur.
History
The construction of the Ampang–Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway was approved on 16 May 1996 when Prolintas was awarded the concession of the highway, which will end in 2029. Construction began in the same year at the banks of the Klang River and was completed in 2001. The highway opened to traffic on 17 May 2001 after numerous delays, and the toll collection started on 1 June 2001.
Plans
The highway was designed to accommodate future expansion of the Jelatek–Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 section from the current four-lane carriageway to six-lane carriageways. The expansion will take place along the northern bank of the Klang River and Ampang River.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Ampang–Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway” is road in Malaysia. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Ampang, Kuala and Lumpur, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “road in Malaysia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4748046. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2008, 1996, 2029 and 2001.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
