The Bukit Timah Expressway (Abbreviation: BKE; simplified Chinese: 武吉知马高速公路; pinyin: Wǔjízhīmǎ Gāosù Gōnglù; Malay: Lebuhraya Bukit Timah) is a highway in Singapore that starts at the PIE in Bukit Timah and travels north to the Woodlands Checkpoint and the Johor-Singapore Causeway.
Before the KJE was completed, BKE was the shortest expressway in Singapore, at about 10 kilometres (6.21 miles). This expressway is a six-lane dual carriageway, with three lanes on either side. In 2003, the LTA began work to convert a section of the expressway, from the intersection with the KJE to that with the SLE, into a four-lane dual carriageway. This was completed in mid-2005.
