PART of the highway under the Pan Island Link 1 (PIL 1) project that would pass through the City Park in George Town, Penang, will be in the form of a 250m-long cable stay bridge.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said studies had shown that such a design would have very minimal impact on the surroundings with the beams only erected outside the vicinity of the park.
