Малазийская магистраль ELITE: соединяя основные автострады

Turnpike connecting two interstate turnpikes in Malaysia

The North–South Expressway Central Link also known as ELITE, is a controlled access highway in Malaysia, running between Shah Alam in Selangor and Nilai in Negeri Sembilan. The expressway joins the separated northern and southern sections of the North–South Expressway, allowing interstate traffic to bypass Kuala Lumpur. The expressway also serves as a primary access route to Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Then originally unnamed, the Central Link of the North South Expressway was built by United Engineers Malaysia Berhad at a cost of RM 1 billion. The concession agreement was signed in April 1994. Construction would start in June 1994 and would be completed by August 1997. UEM would also use the expertise and staff of PLUS which was responsible for the completion of the North South Expressway. The first section, between Shah Alam and USJ, was opened in June 1996. In October 1997, the remainder of the expressway opened to traffic. The Putrajaya Link was opened in 2000. In September 2003, the company Expressway Lingkaran Tengah Sdn Bhd (ELITE) became a member company of PLUS Expressways. On 28 February 2013, a bridge being built by the Selangor State Development Corporation at the interchange to Bandar Nusaputra on the Putrajaya Link collapsed due to a water pipe leak. No casualties were reported.

ELITE operates using a closed toll system throughout its entire route, with toll plazas built at all access points. The toll rate for each vehicle is proportional to the distance between the vehicle's entry point and exit point. ELITE integrates its toll collection system with New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) and the northern and southern routes of the North South Expressway (NSE) up to their respective terminuses at Sungai Besi (NKVE NSE Northern Route), Bukit Raja (ELITE NKVE), Juru (ELITE NSE Southern Route) and Skudai (NSE Southern Route). As such, vehicles traveling throughout the aforementioned expressway network will be charged with a toll rate equivalent to the sum of the rates calculated for each expressway. Vehicles exiting ELITE to the aforementioned expressways will not pass through any toll plazas at the interchanges between the respective highways.

Putrajaya Link, or Persiaran Barat E6, is an expressway within North–South Expressway Central Link and also a major interchange in same expressway. The expressway connects Putrajaya Interchange to the Lebuh Sentosa interchange. The Kilometre Zero of the expressway is located at Putrajaya Interchange.

Construction started in 1998. The Putrajaya Link which was connected to Putrajaya was opened in 2000. In September 2003, the company Expressway Lingkaran Tengah Sdn Bhd (ELITE) became a member company of PLUS Expressways Berhad.

On 28 February 203, the under construction bridge at the Bandar Nusaputra Interchange Exit 613, kilometre P2.4 of the Putrajaya Link, a part of the North–South Expressway Central Link E6 collapse caused by water pipe leakage. No casualties or injuries were reported. The bridge was built by the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) and not PLUS Expressways. It is unclear when the construction was complete. However, according to Google Maps Street View, traffic is being flown smoothly in all directions of the cloverleaf junction as of January 2019.
