The Juru-Sungai Dua elevated highway project will be carried out through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) method, says Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.

According to Chow, the project’s cost also has increased to RM2 billion, from the initial estimate of RM1.8 billion.

He also thanked Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for including the project in the 2025 Budget, which was announced on Friday (Oct 18).

The Juru-Sungai Dua elevated highway is one of the key projects highlighted in the 2025 Budget.

“I welcome this important announcement from the Prime Minister. I also appreciate the dedication and commitment of the Public Private Partnership Unit (UKAS) Prime Minister’s Department, which has collaborated closely with the Penang government to ensure this crucial project was included in the 2025 Budget.

“The next challenge will be the project’s implementation. I hope this project, along with several other key projects announced in the 2025 Budget, can be expedited due to their urgent necessity, as they can hugely benefit the people in the state,” Chow told reporters when asked about the matter today.

When asked whether the Juru-Sungai Dua elevated highway project will be toll-free once completed, Chow replied that there are already existing tolls along the route from Juru to Sungai Dua.

Additionally, Chow also expressed appreciation for the announcement of a new Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) in the Seberang Perai area, which he said would enhance the quality of public services at UTC@Komtar.

Several other key projects for Penang were announced in the 2025 Budget, including the raw water supply project from the Perak River to meet the water needs of northern Perak and Penang, the Penang Light Rail Transit (LRT), the expansion of Penang International Airport (PIA) and the Batu Kawan Industrial Park 3.

Chow said all these projects are expected to contribute significantly to the state’s overall development.

Penang is poised to gain substantial advantages from a series of development projects highlighted in Budget 2025, unveiled by Prime Minister Datuk Anwar Ibrahim in the Dewan Rakyat on Friday (Oct 18).

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow described these projects as essential enhancements for the state, addressing the needs of its residents.

Anwar announced several key initiatives for Penang, including the Juru and Sungai Dua Elevated Highway projects, the Penang Light Rail Transit (LRT), the expansion of Penang International Airport (LTAPP), and the Batu Kawan Industrial Park 3.

“In addition, a new Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) in Seberang Perai is set to enhance public services currently offered at UTC @ Komtar.

“In terms of education, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) is exploring semiconductor artificial intelligence (AI), aligning with Malaysia’s emerging status as a global semiconductor hub.

“This initiative will bolster the university’s capabilities and attract further investment opportunities to Penang,” Chow said in a statement on Friday (Oct 18).

On the development of “wakaf” land by the federal agency UDA Holdings Bhd (UDA) in Penang, Chow expressed the state government’s full support for the initiative.

He noted this aligns with requests from various parties, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the state, to redevelop Malay settlements and increase their land ownership in Penang, especially on the island.

Chow also expressed hope that the implementation of all projects announced by the Prime Minister will be expedited and adhere to the scheduled timeline.
