Bagan Dalam, Butterworth, PenangBagan Dalam, Butterworth, Penang (1 May 2015)


Bagan Dalam (GPS: 5.39264, 100.36991) is a place within the town of Butterworth south of New Ferry Road and Chain Ferry Road, next to the Butterworth Deepwater Wharf. It takes its name after Kampung Bagan Dalam located in that area. The main road in that area is also called Jalan Bagan Dalam. Bagan Dalam probably got its name from piers along the Prai River. These are "inland piers" compared to those jutting out into the open sea at Bagan Luar.

Bagan Dalam is bordered by Jalan Chain Ferry to the north, the Prai River to the south and the sea to the west. It is the area north of the Prai River from the town of Prai.

Among the prominent buildings in Bagan Dalam include the Butterworth Convent School, a Sikh Temple, Church of the Navitity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Masjid Jamek Bagan Dalam. For many years, Sri Bagan flats was the only notable high-rise in the area, but recently, several new condominiums have been erected in Bagan Dalam including Ocean View, Park View, Sea View, Wellesley Residences and Woodsbury Suites.

The Butterworth Outer Ring Road cuts through Bagan Dalam, to connect with Prai in the south and Bagan Luar in the north.

Bagan Dalam has always been Butterworth's transportation hub. It is the location of Pengkalan Sultan Abdul Halim, the ferry terminal, and since 22 November, 2018, Penang Sentral is the new transportation hub for the state.
