The expressway links many major cities and towns in east coast Peninsular Malaysia, acting as the 'backbone' of the central of the peninsula.
The Federal Route 2 is a major east–west oriented federal highway in Malaysia. The 276.9 kilometres (172 mi) road connects Port Klang in Selangor to Kuantan Port in Pahang.

Federal Route 68, also known as Jalan Gombak or Jalan Karak Lama, is a federal road in Malaysia that links the city of Kuala Lumpur to Bentong, Pahang. Before Kuala Lumpur–Karak Expressway E8/FT2 was built, the road was used to be a part of Kuala Lumpur–Kuantan Road FT2; however, due to its sharp corners, narrow roadway and lacks safety features, a replacement highway known as the Kuala Lumpur–Karak Highway FT2 was built, causing the former Kuala Lumpur–Bentong section to be re-gazetted as the Federal Route 68.
Federal Route 88, or Jalan MACRES, is a main federal road in Pahang, Malaysia. The road connects Mentakab to Mentakab-Temerloh Bypass.
Mentakab is a town, a mukim (commune) and a state assembly constituency in Temerloh District, Pahang, Malaysia, originally known as Pasir Rawa. Mentakab was once considered by the State Government in the year 1901 to be the new centre of all administrative works in the state of Pahang. However, due to a problem of uneven land, Kuala Lipis was instead made the capital of the state, later replaced by Kuantan in 1955.
The Mentakab–Temerloh Bypass, Federal Route 2 is a main highway bypass in Pahang, Malaysia.
Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Hospital, formerly known as Hospital Temerloh, is a 498-bed government-funded multi-specialty hospital located in the district of Temerloh in the state of Pahang, Malaysia. It is centrally located along the Kuala Lumpur-Kuantan Highway on a 44-acre (18 ha) piece of land.
Jerangau–Jabor Highway, Federal Route 14 is a 179.63-km federal highway running from the city of Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia to Kuantan, Pahang. The highway runs in parallel with the Federal Route 3 - while the FT3 highway is a coastal highway, the Jerangau–Jabor Highway FT14 runs though the interior area instead. Although the distance from Kuala Terengganu to Kuantan via both FT3 and FT14 highways are about the same, the Jerangau–Jabor Highway FT14 significantly shortens the travelling time due to fewer towns being passed. Therefore, the Jerangau–Jabor Highway FT14 became the main route from Pahang to Terengganu before the advent of the East Coast Expressway Phase 2 E8.
Temerloh is a federal constituency in Pahang, Malaysia, that has been represented in the Dewan Rakyat since 1959.
