Landslide-hit road up Air Itam Dam yet to get nod to reopen


Barricades set up to advise caution at the road leading up to the Air Itam Dam.

THE Penang government will consider allowing public access to the road leading up to the Air Itam Dam after the loose boulders and trees along a stretch of the road hit by a landslide last October are removed.

State Works, Transportation and Utilities Committee chairman Lim Hock Seng said a hoarding would also need to be constructed before an engineer could deem the stretch safe for the public.
