Gurney Expressway, also known as the Persiaran Gurney Paired Road, is a proposed controlled-access expressway on the north coast of George Town, Penang. Part of the George Town Outer Bypass, it is to be constructed on reclaimed land off the present coast of Gurney Drive. The reclamation will fill up the present Teluk Ayer Rajah, on which an interchange will be built linking the expressway to the Pan Island Link (1) Highway to the south, while on the northside, the road continues to Tanjong Tokong and island-side Bagan Jermal. Another highway, the George Town Inner Ring Road, will connect it over Pangkor Road on the south side, from where another interchange links it to the proposed Penang Undersea Tunnel.
The Gurney Expressway is intended to serve as a bypass for the arterial roads such as Kelawei Road and Burmah Road, which are presently playing double duty, as local roads for the Pulau Tikus area, and also shouldering traffic passing across it. The Gurney Expressway and related Pan Island Link Highway will remove this traffic from the Pulau Tikus area, the Gurney Expressway is expected to relieve congestion presently experienced there.
Updates on Gurney Expressway
24 February, 2016: The State Government unveiled plans for the development of the reclaimed land on which the expressway will be located. The area, to become a public park, will be known as Gurney Wharf.

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.
