The toll-free trial period for the Setiawangsa–Pantai Expressway (SPE) is now over and charges have kicked in. It’s RM3.50 for Class 1 and RM1.80 for taxis. Lorries pay RM7 of RM10.50 depending on size, while buses are charged RM3.50. These rates are applicable at Chan Sow Lin, Ampang and Setiawangsa toll plazas, which means that it’s RM7 end-to-end.
The SPE, formerly known as DUKE Phase 3, was launched on November 3. Spanning 29.8 km, it traverses north to south KL and is expected to reduce congestion by 30% during peak hours for motorists travelling in and out of the city centre.
SPE connects Taman Melati and Klang Gates from MRR2 to Kerinchi Link near Pantai and Universiti Malaya. It will also benefit those around Gombak, Taman Melati, Genting Klang, Setiawangsa, Wangsa Maju, Ampang, Kampung Pandan, Bandar Malaysia, Pantai and Kerinchi. By the way, the dedicated ramp from Bangsar South and Kerinchi to SPE is now open. The Taman Desa exit (KL bound) is yet to open.
The project has two entries in the Malaysia Book of Records, including for the longest double deck carriageway on single pier structure (dual direction) 2.104 km as well as the longest elevated land bridge at 20.686 km. More on the SPE here.

I have been using it since they have opened, a very good addition for KL traffic but my my, the toll system for RFID and Smart Tag doesn’t work MOST of the time. Pushing everyone into the TNG lane. Dah la mahal, and it doesn’t work. Frustrating
What happen to mansuh all tolls promise? Sudah dicapati again?
“These rates are applicable at Chan Sow Lin, Ampang and Setiawangsa toll plazas, which means that it’s RM7 end-to-end”.
Isn’t it RM 10.50 for K1 class since there are a total of 3 toll each way?
Wangsa Maju toll to Chan Sow Lin toll?
You don’t exit Ampang and Setiawangsa at the same time. It’s either one. That’s why only RM7 i.e Chan Sow Lin and exit Ampang or Chan Sow Lin and exit Setiawangsa.
mahal. tapi nak jimat masa berbaloi la juga. kadang2 je masuk ni
The entrance from KL-Seremban is crazy, need to go through bottleneck criss cross super jam traffic before enter to SPE.
