Island’s bypass may be ready mid-2026


Work is progressing well on the bypass connecting Air Itam to the LCE on Penang island.

DESPITE a one-year delay, no additional costs are incurred in the construction of the RM850mil Package Two bypass which connects Air Itam to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway (LCE).

Penang infrastructure, transport and digital committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said this was because the project had been granted an Extension of Time due to delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and land acquisition issues during the early stages of construction.
