REALLY? WHEN THE PROJECT GOING TO START?
Very excited about this project, as the island becomes too expensive to live in the next decade, and the island runs out of space also within the next decade, this project will become all the more important. Even now, regular users of the ferry and the first bridge will know the stress faced, every day when travelling these 2 routes, Greenlane people also face a similar level of stress :D.
It’s a novel idea to have cross strait tunnel in Penang. I don’t think it’s going to get off the ground as long as BN controls the central government. With so much politicking and corrupt practices in our country, I really doubt its implementation, not in my life time anyway.
what is the cost
Cost? You guess is as good as mine on this one…..which I think will not become a reliality…will be severely underused……
“severely underused”?? That’s what people said about our 1st Penang Bridge 30 years ago when Dr M built it. Look at it today. You need to plan for things to happen, not just sit there do nothing, expecting money to fall from sky.
How much they will charge for the toll? This is something they need to disclose now…
