In a bid to alleviate traffic woes on Penang island, five road upgrading projects have been put in place by the Penang Municipal Council.

Its Engineering Department deputy director A. Rajendran said that out of the five projects, two had already been completed last year.

“The completed projects involved the upgrading of Jalan Air Itam, Jalan Gottlieb and a part of Jalan Bagan Jermal and Jalan Mount Erskine,” said Rajendran.

“Both the projects are expected to be completed by this year,” Rajendran told a press conference in Komtar yesterday.

Two other projects involve the Udini roundabout and the intersection of Jalan Masjid Negri-Jalan Air Itam-Jalan Scotland.
