CONSTRUCTION of the proposed 5.7km paired road from Air Itam to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway in Gelugor, Penang, may be delayed till next year because of a need to take a closer look at the rainwater dispersal system.
It was initially targeted to begin this year. However, it is learnt that a deeper study on how stormwater would be channelled out of the new road is needed before the environmental impact assessment (EIA) gets a stamp of approval from the Department of Environment.
