North Coastal Paired Road, Penang (15 February 2020)
North Coast Pair Road (NCPR) is a motorway being planned by the Penang State Government for the northern side of Penang Island. Planned to connect Tanjong Tokong to Teluk Bahang, the 10.53km road is intended to relieve the congestion on the existing Jalan Batu Ferringhi, a winding road that skirts the hillside of the northern coast, built during the British colonial period. At time of writing, planning and studies on the road is still in progress.
