KUALA LUMPUR: The proposal to build a new bridge to replace the Kampung Bertam Bridge in Jalan Permatang Pauh, Seberang Perai Tengah in Penang will be given priority, says Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.
The Works Minister said an inspection by the Public Works Department (JKR) Forensic Unit in the middle of last year found that the existing bridge was in a dilapidated condition and no longer safe for long-term use.
