Jalan Klang Lama or Old Klang Road, Federal Route 2 is the oldest and the first major road in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was built before the Federal Highway was built in 1965. The road was constructed by the Federation of Malaya government from 1956 to 1959. The road was opened on 14 January 1959 by the Ministry of Public Works, Sardon Jubir. This road passes through two towns, namely Sungai Way and Petaling Jaya.

History

The Kuala Lumpur–Klang Highway FT2 was opened to traffic on 14 January 1959. [1] The highway was intended as a replacement of the existing road system known as Jalan Klang Lama, Persiaran Selangor, Jalan Sungai Rasau and Jalan Batu Tiga Lama, allowing speeds of up to 60 mph. [2] As a result, Jalan Klang Lama was downgraded into Selangor State Road B14. [3] The Kuala Lumpur–Klang Highway FT2 was later being upgraded into a controlled-access highway by replacing the former at-grade intersection with grade-separated interchanges, making the highway as the nation's first controlled-access expressway. [4] The upgraded controlled-access highway is now known as the Federal Highway Route 2.
