GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Bridge, long an attraction in the state, will get an electrifying new look soon with the installation of aesthetic decorative lights on transmission towers, with several designed to look like betel nuts at the middle span.

The installation of these 31 monopole towers, including six at the mid-span of the 13.5km-long Penang Bridge, Malaysia’s second longest, will be completed by November.
