Motorists fume over planned lane closures on Penang Bridge

GEORGE TOWN: Motorists using the Penang Bridge will have to grit their teeth for a year, as one lane on the bridge will be closed from Tuesday to Aug 21 next year.

One lane on each side will be closed for six months, while another will be closed for four hours daily to make a contraflow lane during peak hours. The shut-off stretches are 1.4km to 1.7km long.
