Opening of second Penang bridge put off again

GEORGE TOWN: Motorists eager to try out the second Penang bridge linking Batu Maung here and Batu Kawan on the mainland will have to wait a little longer.

Expectations of travelling on the 24km bridge – the longest in South-East Asia and 20th longest in the world – ran high after it was reported that works would be completed yesterday, and the link accessible several days later.
