Penang’s controversial undersea tunnel project looks likely to be scrapped for an elevated bridge that would be much less costly in terms of both money and environmental impact.

The original plan: The Star’s artist’s rendition of the Undersea Tunnel Project in Penang.

And now, a decade later, the 6.5km undersea tunnel project is unlikely to take off as the consortium for the tunnel project has proposed replacing it with a 5km elevated bridge. It is understood that the bridge alternative would cost about RM3bil, half the cost of the RM6.3bil undersea tunnel. The newly proposed elevated bridge will connect Gurney Drive and Jalan Teluk Ayer Tawar, linking the bridge to the proposed Northern Corridor Highways that comes under the 12th Malaysia Plan .NCH comprises the 77km Sungai Petani-Serdang route, the 25.5km Bandar Baru-Batu Kawan route, and 37km Bandar Baharu-Changkat Jering route.
