Penang Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Penang, Malaysia
The 13.5-kilometer dual carriageway bridge extends across the Penang Strait, connecting Perai on the mainland with Gelugor on Penang Island.
Construction of the bridge began in 1982 and reached completion in 1985, with Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad conducting the official inauguration on September 14.
The annual Penang Bridge Marathon draws thousands of participants who traverse the entire length of this engineering landmark spanning the Malacca Strait.
The bridge operates with six traffic lanes, maintains an 80 kilometers per hour speed limit, and collects tolls from vehicles traveling toward Penang Island.
Malaysian engineer Tan Sri Professor Chin Fung Kee designed this structure, which stands as the second-longest bridge over water in Malaysia.
