Batu Lanchang Autopont Bridge

Batu Lanchang Autopont Bridge (14 April 2009)


The Batu Lanchang Autopont Bridge is a viaduct in George Town, Penang. It provides an elevated access to Jalan Tan Sri Teh Ewe Lim for traffic coming from the south on Green Lane. The increase in traffic flow along Green Lane, which is one of the round roads serving George Town, has created daily congestions. Access to the Batu Lanchang area is hampered by the constant flow of southbound traffic along Green Lane.

The Batu Lanchang Autopont Bridge was built using French technology for areas of limited space. The name autopont is French for vehicular bridge (pont is bridge in French). As with the Hamilton Road Flyover nearby, its construction helped to ease traffic flow along Green Lane although the main road remain as congested as before.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
