GEORGE TOWN: Penang Bridge operator PLUS Malaysia Berhad says that the Penang Bridge is safe to use, but advises road users to use the second Penang Bridge instead to lessen traffic congestion.

This is because the rightmost lanes in both directions are closed to facilitate investigations by Tenaga Nasional Berhad, Fire and Rescue Services Department and the police.
