Port Klang: Section 2 of the West Coast Expressway (WCE) will be opened to traffic starting midnight tonight, which will complement Port Klang as the largest logistics hub in Southeast Asia. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi announced that the 7.2-kilometre alignment connects the South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) elevated interchange and the Shah Alam Expressway (SAE) elevated interchange, facilitating access or routes to Port Klang.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the opening of this alignment is also expected to help reduce the operating costs of the logistics sector, facilitate the delivery of goods, and increase Malaysia's competitiveness on the international stage. This development is anticipated to attract investments to industrial areas and ports while creating job opportunities and acting as an economic catalyst.

Nanta also announced a month-long toll-free travel on the alignment, starting midnight tonight. The toll-free travel applies to users entering the WCE from the SAE toll plaza to the SKVE elevated interchange and vice versa.

The alignment is a continuation of Section 1 of the WCE, which was opened on Aug 31 last year, reducing the travel time from Shah Alam-Banting from one hour to just 25 minutes. With the opening of Section 2 tonight, only three sections remain to be completed out of the total 11 alignments along the 45 km expressway. Section 3 is expected to open next year.
