THE road widening project involving a 700m stretch where Lorong Batu Lanchang meets Jalan Masjid Negeri in Penang is expected to be completed by Oct 20.

Air Itam assemblyman Wong Hon Wai said the project, which was supposed to be completed on July 18, was 73% completed and the delay was due to the transplanting of trees and street lamps to the other side of the road.
