Plans have been announced to develop a road tunnel project at an investment of USD1.43 billion in Malaysia. The 6.5-km-long tunnel link will connect the Tanjung Bungah-Teluk Bahang route, the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Highway-Bandar Baru Farlim route, and the Pankor Road-Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Highway.
The tunnel will be a part of the USD10.4 billion Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP). Additionally, the PTMP will cover an elevated light rail transit (LRT) system, bus rapid transit (BRT) system, tram, taxi and also trucks and private vehicles.
