Penang Bridge


Jambatan Pulau Pinang.....

This is the bridge that leads to the "Silicon Island" in geographical and economic terms. This 1985 impressive feat of 13.5km of engineering is the first land link to mainland Malaysia. Beyond an unabashed showpiece of progress, its economic significance manifests itself in the factories of top global IT names in the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Park, from which the Californian comparison is drawn. Amidst its chronic traffic congestion, a third link is being debated. A one-way toll, on the mainland side, is levied on cars going to the island.
