PENANG, Jan 4 (Bernama) -- The federal government has agreed to expedite a project to widen four roads between Bayan Lepas and Teluk Kumbar, originally scheduled for completion in 2010, due to worsening traffic congestion.
Finance Ministry parliamentary secretary Datuk Seri Dr Hilmi Yahaya, who is MP for Balik Pulau, said RM200 million had been allocated for the project.
The roads involved link Bayan Lepas and Teluk Kumbar, Bayan Lepas and Batu Maung, Bayan Lepas and the coastal expressway interchange as well as the one connecting the expressway and the cargo interchange.
He told reporters here that the roads would be ready by the time the Second Penang Bridge between Batu Kawan and Batu Maung was completed in 2011.
Hilmi said the tender for the road widening project would be opened this month.
According to him, a temporary diversion would soon be opened during peak hours at Taman Seri Bayu heading towards Jalan Ismail Hashim to reduce congestion.
"The RM8million diversion will open for two hours in the morning and another two hours in the evening," he said.
