Lebuh Bukit Jambul

Lebuh Bukit Jambul, Penang (27 March 2013)


Lebuh Bukit Jambul is a hill road in Bukit Jambul, Penang. It was created in the late 1970s when the hillside area was developed. Intended as an upscale neighbourhood similar to Jesselton Heights, parcels of land on Lebuh Bukit Jambul were sold off on 99-year lease for the construction of mansions. There are a number of these two to three-storey bungalows lining Lebuh Bukit Jambul.

The mansions along Lebuh Bukit Jambul enjoy an expansive panorama of the Bayan Lepas lowlands below, but with increased traffic along the road, they also receive their fair share of noise and dust. As a result, a few of these bungalows have either been vacated or been readapted for commercial use.

By the mid 1980s, Lebuh Bukit Jambul was extended west. It now ends just beyond Tingkat Bukit Jambul. On 15 January 2016, a project to extend Jalan Bukit Kukus commenced. This project will link Lebuh Bukit Jambul to Jalan Bukit Kukus, providing for an alternative parallel road to Jalan Paya Terubong. A few roads branch out from Lebuh Bukit Jambul including Solok Bukit Jambul 1, Lintang Bukit Jambul, Lengkok Bukit Jambul, Persiaran Bukit Jambul, Lintang Bukit Jambul 2, Jalan Bukit Kukus, Lorong Bukit Jambul and Tingkat Bukit Jambul.
