Prepare for traffic alterations, Penang drivers: Lane blockages, alternative routes due to ongoing development at The Light Interchange Construction Project.
Get Ready for Changes on The Light Interchange, George Town!
Hey there! Got some hot updates from IJM Land Berhad, the gorgeous folks developing The Light Waterfront Penang, located right here in George Town.
Starting June 16 and running till the 27th, there'll be some temporary lane closures happening on the George Town-bound lanes of the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway. Why, you ask? It's all part of the process to dismantle that old pedestrian bridge, no worries, though, they're doing it during off-peak hours to keep disruptions minimal[1].
Ready for some good news? On July 1, an elevated road from Jalan Tunku Kudin (Bayan Lepas-bound) will open up, providing a direct and smooth ride for motorists coming from the Green Lane area into The Light Waterfront Penang[1].
And here's another fun one: Boarding a vehicle from The Light Waterfront Penang is about to get a permanent solution, as the current temporary exit will be no more. Fear not! Signage is already in place to ensure you find your way easily[3][4].
But hold on, we're not done yet! Five main streets in George Town have been declared no-waiting zones, effective June 1. Streets such as Jalan Jelutong, Burma Road, Macalister Road, Pengkalan Weld, and Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling have seen traffic congestion drop due to this change[2].
Stay alert, George Town drivers, and enjoy the ride! As always, following traffic instructions is the key to keeping everyone safe! - The Breezy Breakdown Team
