Penang’s undersea tunnel still on the map, draft plan keeps idea alive for 2040

The proposed undersea tunnel or third bridge linking Penang island to the mainland is still included in the Draft Penang State Structure Plan 2040, according to Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow. The project remains in the draft plan as the agreement with the appointed company is still valid, although its eventual implementation would depend on development schedules.

Chow urged government departments and agencies to submit proposals for approved major projects to be included in the draft structure plan, emphasizing that the draft is not a final or flawless document and invites public feedback and challenges based on facts and public interest.
