East–West Link Expressway

The East–West Link Expressway, or Salak Expressway East–West Link Expressway (Malay: Lebuhraya Hubungan Timur-Barat), is an extension of Malaysia's Federal Highway from Seputeh to Taman Connaught in Cheras.

Some maps label the section of the expressway from Seputeh Interchange to Salak South Expressway as a part of the Federal Highway Route 2, but the appellation is incorrect as the East–West Link Expressway was acquired by ANIH Berhad (formerly known as Metramac Corporation Sdn Bhd (MetaCorp)) and not by the PLUS Malaysia Berhad which maintains most parts of the Federal Highway. In 2007, the expressway was coded as E37 with the Kuala Lumpur–Seremban Expressway.

The Kilometre Zero is located at Seputeh Interchange.
