Pan Island Link Highway (PIL)

Pan Island Link Highway (PIL) is a proposed motorway for Penang Island. It is one of the two components of the Penang Transport Master Plan The main purpose of the PIL is to reduce the load shouldered by the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway and to address increasing congestion expected on the southern and central parts of Penang Island.

Traffic movement across the island is to be relived by the PIL and the proposed Bayan Lepas Light Rail Transit, which will be an elevated railway line connecting Teluk Kumbar and Batu Maung with Gurney Drive, with interchanges at Paya Terubong, Relau, Jalan Tun Dr Awang and the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway.

Land reclamation off the coast of Gurney Drive will enable the construction of a new coastal highway, tentatively known as the Gurney Expressway. It will be connected to the PIL which will run from Bagan Jermal to Bayan Lepas, to connect with the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway at the Second Penang Bridge exit. This enables cross-island traffic to bypass the densely populated and congested roads of the central and northeastern portions of the island.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
