North–South Expressway (NSE) Southern Route, E2, AH2, or the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban-Malacca Johor Bahru Route, is the southern part of the North–South Expressway, which is the longest expressway in Malaysia. It is joined by the E1, and continues southward. The expressway is oriented in a north–south direction, traversing four states in Peninsular Malaysia: Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Malacca and Johor.

The North–South Expressway Southern Route begins in the southern part of Kuala Lumpur, at Sungai Besi. Its southern terminus (Kilometre Zero) is at Pandan, Johor Bahru.

The expressway begins at the Sungai Besi Toll Plaza. The Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway E37 links Sungai Besi toll plaza to Jalan Istana and the BESRAYA Expressway E9 near the Sungai Besi RMAF base.

From this point the expressway enters Negeri Sembilan, running southwesterly towards Nilai. The interchange to ELITE E6 lies in the northern part of Nilai, near the Selangor-Negeri Sembilan border, enabling motorists from the south to Shah Alam and Klang while bypassing Kuala Lumpur.
