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.

Work temp STOP! on Penang Second Bridge.

2008-01-17T15:35:00.000-08:00

Work temp STOP! on Penang Second Bridge because of fisherman complains???

1500 of fisherman complain that the progress of developing Penang Second Bridge effect fishes around " run away " and cause them low income.

If going to stop work, so when it will be started? After the fishes become more brave to swim around? After the fisherman change their jobs to non-fishing jobs like blogger or web master? What about change their fishing area to another?

They have to consider this before they start to build up Penang Second Bridge, but not temp stop it. Penang Second Bridge is not only important to bridge users, but also to our country, that will be one of our famous tourism places in MALAYSIA!
