or motorway in Malaysia connecting the capital city of Kuala Lumpur
to the town of Karak in Pahang
. It incorporates a twin tunnel
at Genting Sempah
, near one of Malaysia's famous highland

. Originally, the highway
was used to be a two-lane toll highway before being upgraded to a full expressway
in 1997. The speed limit on the expressway is 90 km/h (56 mph).

The section between Bentong and Karak is the sole route from Kuala Lumpur to Kuantan and vice-versa, as Jalan Gombak

which runs from Gombak in Kuala Lumpur
to Bentong, Pahang
. The highway is also a part of Federal Route
(not to be confused with Federal Highway
). The highway included a 900-m tunnel
at Genting Sempah, which became Malaysia's first highway tunnel ever constructed. It was officially opened on 1979 by Minister of Works and Communications that time Dato Abdul Ghani Gilong.
However, the cost of the construction of this highway was considered as expensive for Malaysia which at that time was an agricultural
country. Therefore, the government decided to make Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway as a toll road
to help covering all the construction works. As a result, two toll gates
were constructed at Gombak and Bentong and the toll road was administered under Malaysian Highway Authority
. The highway was officially opened to traffic in 1977.
to eastern states of Peninsular Malaysia
resulted in the government's decision to upgrade the highway to a multi-lane expressway by duplicating the whole highway stretch at another side. Thus, the former 2-lane highway become a dual-carriageway with 6 lanes (3 at each direction) from Kuala Lumpur to Genting Highlands
exit and 4 lanes (2 at each direction) for the rest of the expressway.
The upgrading works also included the construction of a second tunnel
located beside the existing tunnel to provide additional two lanes for eastbound traffic, widening the toll gates
at Gombak and Bentong and also constructing interchange
s to replace junctions
. However, some junctions were impossible to be upgraded to interchanges due to their geographical locations and therefore some U-turns were constructed to provide entry and exit to the junction for the opposite direction of the expressway. The expressway has two separate carriageway at Genting Sempah
in Selangor-Pahang border (one for Selangor side and one for Pahang side) due to their geographical locations. The upgrade works of the expressway was completed in 1997.

. By the completion of Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway, the expressway acquired its official route number, , which resulted in overlapping route numbers. As a result, some maps labelled Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway as and some other maps labelled the expressway as Federal route . No matter which route number is used to refer to Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway, both route numbers can be used since the expressway itself is a part of Federal route .
