Jalan Bayan Lepas is the main road through Bayan Lepas town. It is part of Federal Route 6 that goes through the northern, western and southern parts of Penang Island. It connects with Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, at the junction of Jalan Garuda, in the east and Jalan Teluk Kumbar, at the intersection with Jalan Permatang Damar Laut and Jalan Kampung Bukit, in the west. Jalan Bayan Lepas used to be a narrow road though the village, with double storey shophouses on both sides.
With increased traffic flow from Teluk Kumbar and Balik Pulau, a 207.7-million road widening project was carried out from February 2017 until 2017; it was officially declared completed in March 2018. The project involved the widening of Jalan Bayan Lepas and the construction of a flyover connecting it to Jalan Teluk Kumbar. Also build is an elevated U-turn. It required the demolition of the shophouses on one side of the road and the reconstruction of the village police station.

Updates on Jalan Bayan Lepas
2 March, 2018 The Star reports that the RM207.7million upgrading of Jalan Bayan Lepas is now completed. The project includes the upgrading of two overhead bridges, construction of a four-lane 750-meter flyover linking Jalan Bayan Lepas to Jalan Teluk Kumbar, and the construction of an elevated U-turn. This upgrading exercise has helped to smoothen traffic flow, particularly the congestion at the intersection with Jalan Permatang Damar Laut.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
