Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE) is a Malaysian expressway in Selangor’s Klang Valley that connects Shah Alam to Rawang. It runs about 25 km on Prolintas-managed sections (and about 2 km on the PLUS Expressway portion).

Starting near Shah Alam at Jalan Monfort (Kilometre Zero), the road heads north to Rawang, passing nearby areas such as Lagong and Bukit Jelutong. The highway is maintained by Prolintas and its subsidiary Prolintas Expressway Sdn Bhd (PEX). The land mostly came from Guthrie Berhad, which gave the corridor its name.

Construction began in 2003 and was completed in 2005, with operations starting in July 2005. In August 2007 GCE became a subsidiary of Prolintas Expressway Sdn Bhd, and today the expressway is owned by Prolintas and its subsidiary (ultimately owned by Permodalan Nasional Berhad, PNB).

Toll system and speed: GCE uses an open toll system with three plazas. Since March 2016, all tolls at Bukit Jelutong, Elmina, and Lagong plazas have been collected electronically via Touch ’n Go or SmartTAG. In October 2022, toll rates on GCE and three other Prolintas expressways were reduced by 8–15%.

Speed limits are generally 90–110 km/h.

Notable incident: On 17 August 2023, a private plane crashed onto the highway near the Elmina interchange, killing ten people, including the plane’s passengers and two motorists.
