The expressway has a length of {{Convert|49.56|km|mi|abbr=in}}, traveling from its northern terminus at the Magallanes Interchange in Makati to its southern terminus at Santo Tomas, Batangas, connecting it to the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR Tollway). A portion of the expressway from the Magallanes Interchange to the Calamba Exit is part of Asian Highway 26 of the Asian highway network. It will be the longest expressway in the Philippines starting with the completion of Toll Road 4, surpassing the Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX).The expressway also serves as a major utility corridor, carrying various high voltage overhead power lines and an oil pipeline. Notable power lines using the expressway's right of way for most or part of their route are the Sucat–Paco–Araneta–Balintawak transmission line, and the Biñan–Calamba and Calamba–Bay lines. The Magallanes–Alabang section of the expressway was also used to carry the Batangas–Pandacan oil pipeline.The expressway was built in the late 1960s to develop areas adjacent to Metro Manila, particularly the south. Originally spanning from Magallanes, Makati to Alabang, Muntinlupa, it was extended southward to Calamba, Laguna in the late 1970s. In 1995, the Magallanes–Alabang section became part of the Skyway System's at-grade section. Rehabilitation efforts on the expressway followed, lasting from 2006 to 2009. Operations were transferred from Philippine National Construction Corporation (PNCC) to the South Luzon Tollways Corporation (SLTC) and Manila Toll Expressway Systems (MATES) on May 2, 2010. Additionally, it was connected to the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road in Batangas, through the Toll Road 3 project (Calamba–Santo Tomas) that opened in 2010.

Expansion and rehabilitation

(File:SLEx SLT-Calamba.jpg|thumb|SLEX Calamba segment in 2007, prior to the completion of rehabilitation work)Rehabilitation work on SLEX started in May 2006, with heavy traffic brought by construction work. Prior to its rehabilitation, the South Luzon Expressway section from Alabang to Calamba was mostly an expressway with a grass median and two lanes per direction. The widening of the Alabang Viaduct from three to four lanes per direction was completed on November 11, 2008. During the construction of Skyway Stage 2 from 2009 to 2011, there were traffic disruptions on the Bicutan–Alabang section. The use of the sosrobahu method to build and position the bridge piers helped mitigate these disruptions.
