Jalan Bayan Lepas

Jalan Bayan Lepas, Penang (6 January 2017)


Jalan Bayan Lepas is the main road through Bayan Lepas town. It is part of Federal Route 6 that goes through the northern, western and southern parts of Penang Island. It connects with Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, at the junction of Jalan Garuda, in the east and Jalan Teluk Kumbar, at the intersection with Jalan Permatang Damar Laut and Jalan Kampung Bukit, in the west. Jalan Bayan Lepas used to be a narrow road though the village, with double storey shophouses on both sides.

With increased traffic flow from Teluk Kumbar and Balik Pulau, a 207.7-million road widening project was carried out from February 2017 until 2017; it was officially declared completed in March 2018. The project involved the widening of Jalan Bayan Lepas and the construction of a flyover connecting it to Jalan Teluk Kumbar. Also build is an elevated U-turn. It required the demolition of the shophouses on one side of the road and the reconstruction of the village police station.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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