Penang Bridge (Jambatan Pulau Pinang)

Opened in 1985 after 15 years of planning, the Penang Bridge (Jambatan Pulau Pinang) spans 8.4 miles (13.5 kilometers) to connect George Town in Penang with Seberang Prai on the Malaysian mainland. This cable-stayed toll bridge, the second longest in Malaysia and the fifth longest in Southeast Asia, offers a striking view of the surrounding waters and the city skyline. Visitors can drive across it, experiencing the vast expanse of the strait and the engineering marvel that has become a vital link for the region.
