BUTTERWORTH: An 8.95km elevated highway and Penang’s first third level flyover will be among the features of the new Juru-Sungai Dua Elevated Highway (JSEH).

The highway is planned to bring to an end the “longest traffic jam in the northern region” which often stretches over 17km on mainland Penang. That nightmare should end by 2030 when the RM3bil JSEH is completed.
