Highway system | |
Second Link Expressway, E3, AH143 (LINKEDUA, Malay: Laluan Kedua Malaysia-Singapura), is the 44 km (27 mi) expressway which links Senai North Exit 253 at North-South Expressway, Senai Airport and Taman Perling, Johor Bahru via its extension known as Pontian-Johor Bahru Parkway (Pontian Link) to the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link. The expressway is part of the Asian Highway Network of route AH143}.
Usually, travelling along the second link is much faster than travelling on the Johor-Singapore Causeway, as the traffic is smoother in both directions. However, during festive periods (especially Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Christmas and Deepavali), massive traffic jams still arise as the huge amount of traffic going between Malaysia and Singapore during these periods leads to massive jams on both the causeway and the second link.
The Kilometre Zero for the entire expressway is located at the Malaysia-Singapore Border at the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link.
The northern terminus of this section is at Senai Airport Interchange near Senai Airport, while it shares the same Kilometre Zero with the main link.
