马来西亚联邦2号公路

马来西亚联邦2号公路（，）是马来西亚主要的东西横向联邦公路。 这条长276.9公里（172英里）的公路连接雪兰莪州的巴生港和彭亨州的关丹港。在东海岸大道E8建好之前，联邦2号公路曾是连接马来西亚半岛东西海岸主幹道路。

背景
联邦2号公路分为两段：吉隆坡－巴生高速公路和吉隆坡－关丹路，两段路于吉隆坡连接。吉隆坡－巴生高速公路包括赛布特拉路（Jalan Syed Putra）、联邦大道、苏丹依布拉欣道（Persiaran Sultan Ibrahim）、哥打桥路（Jalan Jambatan Kota）（与联邦5号公路共线）和拉惹穆達穆沙道（Persiaran Raja Muda Musa）。除了从巴生港口交通枢纽到巴生港码头的一小段路外，吉隆坡－巴生高速公路大部分的路段都是双向分开的。联邦2号公路的零公里位于雪兰莪州的巴生港。

The FT2 highway becomes a 高速公路 starting from Berkeley Roundabout Interchange to Seputeh Interchange, where the controlled-access section is popularly known as the Federal Highway Route 2. The section of the Federal Highway FT2 from Berkeley Roundabout Interchange to Subang Airport Interchange is a tolled section managed by 南北大道公司, the operator of the nation's longest expressway, the 南北大道. The Federal Highway FT2 later becomes a limited-access arterial highway again after Seputeh Interchange, where it becomes Jalan Syed Putra. Jalan Syed Putra FT2 was concluded at Bulatan Kinabalu where it joins with Jalan Kinabalu FT1.

Meanwhile, the Kuala Lumpur–Kuantan Road begins as Jalan Pahang FT2 from Pahang Roundabout at 吉隆坡第一中环公路. The FT2 road is later diverted to Jalan Gombak FT2/FT68 at Setapak Interchange. At Kampung Bandar Dalam Intersection, the FT2 route is once again diverted to Jalan Kampung Bandar Dalam FT2, while Jalan Gombak changes its route number to FT68. At Kampung Bandar Dalam Interchange, the FT2 concurrents with 大使路—淡江大道 E33/FT2 to Taman Greenwood, 黑風洞, then it concurrents with the 吉隆坡第二中环公路 (KL MRR2) FT28 from Taman Greenwood to Gombak North Interchange, before once again concurrents with the 吉隆坡—加叻大道 E8/FT2 for its entire length.

历史
The Federal Route 2 begins as part of the earliest trunk road to 关丹, 彭亨 from Benta, where the road was constructed as an extension of the Kuala Kubu Road from 新古毛, 雪兰莪 to 瓜拉立卑, Pahang. The 80-mile Kuala Kubu Road, which now becomes the entire section of the and parts of and 马来西亚联邦8号公路, was constructed by the 马来西亚公共工程局 (JKR) in 1887. The Benta–Kuantan Road, which now forms the entire section of the (Benta–Maran) and a part of the Federal Route 2 from Maran to Kuantan, was constructed in 1915. The Kuala Lumpur–Bentong section was constructed at the same time, followed by the Bentong–Temerloh section in 1928. The final section took a very long time to be completed due to rainy season, huge floods and swampy region, as well as the advances of the 大日本帝國陸軍 during the 第二次世界大战 and the activities of the 马来亚共产党 terrorists during the 馬來亞緊急狀態. Construction began from 1925 to and was completed in 1955. The Sultan Ahmad Shah Bridge was much higher than the old bridge, forming the first grade-separated Interchange in Pahang that was linked to the . The new bridge project also included a new roadway that bypassed Temerloh and Mentakab, causing the former Temerloh–Mentakab section to be re-gazetted as the . The construction of the Sultan Ahmad Shah Bridge was completed in 1974. The highway was intended as a replacement of the existing road system known as , Persiaran Selangor, Jalan Sungai Rasau and Jalan Batu Tiga Lama, allowing speeds of up to 60 mph. The upgraded controlled-access highway is now known as the Federal Highway Route 2.

In the 1970s, a replacement segment for the narrow and winding section from Kuala Lumpur to Karak (known as ) was constructed. The replacement section was known as the 吉隆坡—加叻大道 FT2, featuring the 914.4-m . The 75.2-km toll highway was constructed at the cost of RM136.4 million and was opened to traffic on 7 January 1978. As a result, the old Jalan Gombak was re-gazetted as the Federal Route 68. In 1994, the Kuala Lumpur–Karak Highway FT2 was upgraded to a full controlled-access expressway by twinning the entire section, including the construction of the second tunnel beside the existing Genting Sempah Tunnel for eastbound traffic. The upgrade works began in 1994 by MTD Prime and was completed in 1998. However, only 60 km of the 75-km highway forms the present-day Kuala Lumpur–Karak Expressway E8/FT2; the remaining 15 km forms a part of the 吉隆坡第二中环公路 (KL MRR2) FT28 and 大使路—淡江大道 E33.

The construction of the extension of the Kuala Lumpur–Karak Expressway E8/FT2, known as the 东海岸大道, was first announced in 1994 when the expressway itself was still under upgrading works. but was ultimately constructed by MTD Group in 2001 after the former consortium withdrew from the job due to the effects of the 亚洲金融风暴. The East Coast Expressway was opened to motorists on 1 August 2004, taking the role of the Federal Route 2 as the main east–west route from Kuala Lumpur to Kuantan. The expressway retained the E8 route number similar to the upgraded Kuala Lumpur–Karak Expressway E8/FT2, which was also operated by MTD Group (now ).
