The New Klang Valley Expressway, or the NKVE E 1 (the official name as stated on the website of PLUS Expressways Berhad, the highway concessionaire) refers to a stretch of the North-South Expressway in Peninsular Malaysia which starts from Bukit Raja near Klang town, and ends at Jalan Duta in Kuala Lumpur. People sometimes call it the North Klang Valley Expressway due to its location in Malaysia's most populated region, but most refer to it by its initials.

Traffic from the north, destined for places further south of Kuala Lumpur (such as Putrajaya, Seremban, Melaka and Singapore), must enter the Bukit Lanjan interchange and travel west before turning left at Shah Alam (the entry point of North-South Expressway Central Link, E 6 ). Another alternative is by entering Kuala Lumpur via Jalan Duta Interchange and entering Jalan Duta and KL Middle Ring Road 1 which ends at Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway and the southern route but this alternative is quite unwise especially during peak hours, therefore the NKVE is built to bypass Kuala Lumpur for traveling north-south or vice-versa.

The Setia Alam Interchange on EXIT 102 was now opened to traffic on 14 June 2006.

Its construction began in 1988 and completed on 1993. The first sections of the NKVE between Bukit Raja and Damansara was opened to traffic on 7 December 1990.

The all sections of the NKVE between Bukit Raja and Jalan Duta was officially opened by the fourth Malaysian Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad at Jalan Duta toll plaza on 11 January 1993.

In late 2003, a rockfall near the Bukit Lanjan interchange caused the expressway to close for more than six months, causing massive traffic jams to occur in areas surrounding Klang Valley. Fortunately, road repairs managed to be fixed and finally, the roads were all opened to public by mid-2004.

During the year 2005, a flyover i.e. the NKVE-Jalan Meru flyover (now Setia Alam Interchange) was constructed over the existing NKVE. Unfortunately, this NKVE-Jalan Meru flyover collapsed onto the NKVE on July the 10th 2005, resulting in the death of two Bangladeshi workers and injuries to seven others.
