3 lanes on the bridge

are we suppose to be happy or what? no toll rise for penang bridge after expansion work, said our works minister, the samy guy.

the expansion work would begin in september this year and will take about 3 years, costing RM403 million. a third lane on both sides of the bridge and also a special lane for motorcycles will be build. this expansion work was brought about after the 2nd link project was scrapped. er… it was not scrapped but only postponed.

well, hopefully with the expansion, traffic congestion on the bridge would decrease.

for the first time, i am posting a picture here through blogger’s own ‘upload image’ feature. came to know about it via lcf’s post. it’s cool. no need to save picture to an image hosting site, and can choose the placement (right, left, centre) and the size. have any of you using blogger gave it a try already?
