Federal Highway, or ''Lebuhraya Persekutuan'' in Malay is a Malaysian Highway connecting the capital city of Kuala Lumpur , and Klang , Selangor . The highway starts from Salak Selatan in Kuala Lumpur to Bukit Raja in Klang. The Federal Highway is coded as Federal Route '''2'''. HISTORY The history of the highway started after the separation of has upgraded the entire highway to a 6-lane highway. BENEFITS OF HIGHWAY The highway serves as the main highway of Klang Valley conurbation since it connects major cities of the conurbation including Klang, Shah Alam , Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur . However, the increase of traffic as a result of the population increase peaked the capacity of the highway in the mid-1990s and therefore massive daily traffic jams along Federal Highway are common especially early in the morning and late afternoon. As a result, the government began to build new expressways to reduce the congestion of Federal Highway, which were viewed as an unwise choice since those new expressways were unable to reduce the traffic rate on Federal Highway. Instead, these newer highways are just burdening the residents of Klang Valley with their toll rates. CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS The upgraded of the Subang Airport Interchange including main link of Subang-Kelana Jaya Link from Subang Airport Highway (route 15) of Federal Highway (route '''2''') to Persiaran Kewajipan near Menara Mesiniaga had began on the end of 2005 and the construction of the new Majlis Link on September 2005. Both project are led by Malaysian Public Works Department (JKR). While the main contractor are the Ahmad Zaki Resources Berhad (AZRB) and Ho Hup Construction Company Berhad (HHCC). FEATURES The main feature of Federal Highway is Kota Darul Ehsan , the biggest arch in Malaysia.
