BUTTERWORTH: The LRT bridge crossing the sea here by 2031 is set to be an engineering feat that will be a first in Malaysia. This will create a two-way navigational corridor for large ships to pass below, and even Penang’s ferry passengers will get to pass below the bridge every time. All stations including Penang Sentral will be equipped with universal access facilities such as elevated walkways and tactile tiles for the visually impaired. With the LRT connection, people on the mainland will be able to reach Penang International Airport with a single train ride. With approximately 1,000 parking bays available at Penang Sentral, users can park their vehicles before continuing their journey by LRT.
