Bayan Baru Roundabout

Bayan Baru Roundabout (20 May 2012)


Bayan Baru Roundabout (GPS: 5.33164, 100.29524) is the biggest roundabout on Penang Island. Occasionally also known as the Tun Dr Awang Roundabout, it connects Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah with Jalan Tun Dr Awang and the Bayan Lepas Expressway. The Bayan Lepas Elevated Highway is also part of Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah at the Bayan Baru Roundabout.

The Bayan Baru Roundabout was built to ensure smooth traffic in the Bayan Baru township. It was created in the late 1970's, but has been modified a few times over the decades.

Updates on the Bayan Baru Roundabout

24 January, 2017
The Star reports that developer Hunza Properties is planning to submit planning permission to build an underpass at the Bayan Baru Roundabout. The 0.5-km underpass will possibly enable traffic from the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway to bypass the roundabout towards Jalan Tun Dr Awang, to facilitate access to the Penang International Commercial City which is under construction.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
