Guthrie Corridor Expressway

Guthrie Corridor Expressway, GCE, (Malay: Lebuhraya Koridor Guthrie) is an expressway in Klang Valley, Selangor, Malaysia. It connects Shah Alam to Rawang. GCE is approximately 25 km (16 mi) (23 km (14 mi) long on the Prolintas sections and 2 km (1.2 mi) on the PLUS Expressway sections). The expressway is unique in Malaysia in that all project costs, including land acquisition, were completely borne by the concessionaire. Of the land acquired, 80 percent was from a plantation company Guthrie Berhad which in 2007 merged with two other companies to form Sime Darby. Today this expressway is owned by Prolintas and its subsidiary Prolintas Expressway Sdn Bhd. The starting point of the highway or 'Kilometre Zero' is located at the Jalan Monfort intersection near Shah Alam.

History

The proposal to develop GCE began in 2002 when Guthrie Berhad became a major shareholder of this project apart from owning other businesses such as large plantations and property development projects. Construction started in 2003. GCE was built along an oil palm estate owned by Guthrie Berhad and was completed in April 2005. It commenced operations in July 2005.

In August 2007, GCE became a subsidiary of Prolintas Expressway Sdn Bhd (PEX).
