RESIDENTS living in Pulau Tikus, George Town, have expressed apprehension over the proposed RM30mil one-way underpass to link Jalan Mount Erskine with Jalan Burmah.

Many believe the 200m-tunnel will not solve the traffic problem in the area and they prefer the traffic-heavy stretch from Jalan Gottlieb towards Jalan Bagan Jermal be upgraded instead.
