The North Coastal Paired Road (NCPR) in Penang will soon offer lighting for traffic congestion that is sustained by road users between Teluk Bahang and Tanjung Bungah on the island, said Penang State Infrastructure, Transport and Digital Committee Chairman Zairil Khir Johari reported, reported The star.
The new 10.61 km long highway offers an alternative to the single-careerway Jalan Batu Ferringhi that often gets stuck, especially during festive seasons and long weekends, according to the report.
The RM2.9 billion project, also known as package 1 of the three most important roads and tunnel project awarded in 2013, will consist of 8.41 km of roads and an viaduct of 2.2 km across the sea. The road lines starts at Jalan Tanjung Bungah, passes the floating mosque, crosses the sea before she can be accommodated at the land at Shamrock, go through Batu Ferringhi and end up in Teluk Bahang.
Construction is expected to start next year and be completed by 2031, The star reported. The appointed contractor is Consortium Zenith Construction (CZC) and the completion of the detailed design will take at least six months, Zairil said. “After the updated coordination, a change in the investigation into the environmental effects (EIA) will also be required, whereby the process is expected to last approximately 1.5 years,” said the chairman of the committee.
“Land acquisition will start as soon as the Land Acquisition Cost Agreement (LACA) has been signed, while the construction for the Staatsland can continue immediately after signing the additional agreement,” said Zairil, adding that the acquisition process for private plots is estimated at least six to 12 months.
