Johor-Singapore Causeway is the link connecting Peninsular Malaysia to the island of Singapore. It connects Johor Bahru to Woodlands in Singapore. A road, a railway, a pedestrian walkway and a water pipeline are carried through the causeway. On the Johor Bahru side is the Sultan Iskandar Customers, Immigration and Quarantine Complex while on the Woodlands side is the Woodlands CIQ Checkpoint.

History of the Causeway

The idea of linking Johor and Singapore through the narrow Straits of Johor (also known as the Tebrau Straits) has been discussed since the turn of the 20th century. The project only got under way around 1919. It was completed around 1923 at a cost of $17 million, borne by the Johor government.

Today the Causeway is still the main link between Malaysia and Singapore. The Second Link takes some load from the Causeway. Nevertheless over 60,000 vehicles pass through it every day.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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