The Kuala Lumpur–Karak Expressway, or Karak Expressway, KLK, (Malay: Lebuhraya Kuala Lumpur–Karak, Lebuhraya Karak), or also known as Karak Highway, is a 60-kilometre (37 mi) controlled-access highway 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 resorts, Genting Highlands. The highway was used to be a two-lane toll highway before being upgraded to a full expressway in 1997. The expressway is part of the Asian Highway Network of route AH141 and the speed limit on the expressway is 90 km/h (56 mph).
