Putrajaya–Cyberjaya Expressway, Federal Route 29, is a major expressway in Klang Valley, Malaysia. It is the first future federal highway on the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) area. The 21.2 km (13.2 mi) expressway connects Serdang interchange on Damansara-Puchong Expressway to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang. It was named after the two sides of the MSC cities, Putrajaya and Cyberjaya.
The kilometre marker for the expressway is a continuation from the E11 Damansara-Puchong Expressway; therefore, the Putrajaya–Cyberjaya Expressway assumes the same Kilometre Zero as the Damansara-Puchong Expressway.
The road used to be known as the 15 state road from Puchong to Dengkil. Construction began in 1997 and was divided into four phases. The first phase was from the Damansara-Puchong Expressway to the Persiaran Utara interchange, the second from Persiaran Utara to Dengkil, the third from Dengkil to Sepang and the fourth from Sepang to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Phase 1 was completed in 1999, phase 2 in 2001 and phase 3 in 2006. Meanwhile, phase 4, connecting Sepang to KLIA, is expected to be completed in 2009.
There have been criticisms on the state of the expressway. Compared to other expressways, there are many hazards along certain stretches such as broken street lamps and dangerously uneven road surface. Most motorcyclists avoided using the designated lanes due to untrimmed tree branches jutting out into the lane, sand on the road, unlit tunnels and flooding.
