Penang begins major infrastructure push for Silicon Island
A 380-metre marine viaduct connecting the southern coast of Penang island to the emerging Silicon Island is expected to be opened to the public by December 2028. It will feature four lanes in each direction. The bridge will serve as a key component of the Pan Island Link 2A (PIL2A) – a strategic infrastructure initiative aimed at improving connectivity between Silicon Island and the Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Bridge, while supporting Penang’s long-term urban growth.
