Transport
Three large projects are the Butterworth Outer Ring Road(BORR) and the recently approved RM2.6bil Penang Second Bridge connecting Batu Maung on the island and Batu Kawan on the mainland. Scheduled for completion by 2011, the second link spanning 22.5 km will help reduce the traffic volume at Penang Bridge by half. The new link will bring much relief to Penangites who have to bear with horrendous traffic jams on the existing bridge. The RM500mil BORR is another much awaited development as it provides an alternative road for motorists to get to their destinations in Prai and Butterworth faster. A majestic and vital feature of BORR is the Prai Bridge, connecting Old Prai Town to Bagan Dalam.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
