Transport minister Anthony Loke has said that construction of Penang’s Mutiara Line LRT will start within the next two months, and that all outstanding issues between the federal and Penang governments have been resolved, including release letters from the state government, Bernama reports.
“Physical work will begin shortly, in one or two months. So we ask them (the state government) to ensure there is a traffic diversion plan when piling work and construction begins to ensure the project doesn’t have a negative impact on road congestion,” he said.
First talked about in 2015, the 29.5-km Mutiara Line LRT will connect Penang’s island and mainland through 21 stations. The Star quoted Loke as saying that the project’s main contractor has already assigned preliminary work to subcontractors to prepare for on-site activities.
Expected to be completed by 2030, the project was taken over by the federal government in early-2024. In its original form, the LRT project on the island was planned to connect the Komtar complex with the Penang International Airport in the south of the island. This has recently been stretched northward towards Tanjung Bungah, while the proposed underground link in George Town has been scrapped.
