Toppled crane causes massive jam on Penang Bridge

2009-02-18T22:27:00.000-08:00

GEORGE TOWN: A crane which toppled on the Penang Bridge early Thursday morning caused massive jams along the Jelutong Expressway and the Bayan Lepas coastal road heading towards the mainland.

A spokesman from Penang Bridge Sdn Bhd said the incident occurred at about 4am.

“The accident occurred at KM3.6 after the middle span. The boom of the crane fell into the sea and caused the crane to topple.

“The lanes heading towards the mainland are closed now and we’re currently using contra flow, which we’re using the lanes from the opposite direction.

“So now we have one lane heading towards the mainland and one lane heading to the island,” he said.

Normal traffic flow is expected to have resumed by 11.45am.

What Cause Last Night Traffic SUX? Answer Is Here!

Yesterday night, I depart from my office at 10.45pm to go back home, you know, when I reached home, the time was 12.40am!!! Two hours been taken for the DAMN JAM!!!! What cause we all suffered? Why we been trapped? What made us went back home late? The answer showed by pictures above.

A lorry, delivering a huge and long pole ( I'm no sure is pole or not ) there. Closed one line and left one line only for all cars. That make all of us sux in the traffic. Why they don't wanna choose another day? They don't know every Friday sure will jam seriously?
