Sungai Buloh Highway or Jalan Sungai Buloh, Federal Route 54, is a major highway in Klang Valley region, Selangor state, Malaysia.[1] The highway has now been upgraded into six-lane carriageway on 22 June 2007.

History

The highway was upgraded by the Malaysian Public Works Department (JKR) and the two main contractor, Melati Ehsan Holdings Berhad and Desa Purnama Sdn Bhd on 22 June 2007.

The project involved upgrading and expanding the Federal Road 54, this connects to Jalan Kepong, Damansara–Puchong Expressway and to various residential areas at Sungai Buloh, Selangor such as Sierramas, Damansara Damai, and Bandar Sri Damansara.
