Jalan Teluk Kumbar, PenangJalan Teluk Kumbar, Penang (2 November 2013)


Jalan Teluk Kumbar is a main road on the southwestern part of Penang Island. It connects with Jalan Bayan Lepas on the eastern end and with Jalan Balik Pulau with the western. The road also forms a junction with Jalan Gertak Sanggul at Teluk Kumbar village. This road is part of Federal Route 6 that encircles Penang Island. The road was first laid out by the British in the 1920s. It underwent a major upgrading between 2005 and 2013 (described under Balik Pulau hill road), a much delayed project that eventually reduced that sharp cornerings on the hill road and added six viaducts.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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