Highway system

The East Coast Expressway (ECE; Malay: Lebuhraya Pantai Timur, LPT) is an interstate controlled-access highway running parallel to the northeastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The currently operational 433-kilometre (269-mile) segment of the expressway runs through Karak, Pahang and Kuala Nerus, Terengganu.

The East Coast Expressway serves as the high-speed alternative to the existing federal routes 2 and 3, which it parallels.
