Penang: IJM Land Berhad (IJM Land) today announced scheduled infrastructure works and updates on new road access as part of the advancement of The Light Interchange development here. In a statement, the developer of The Light Waterfront Penang stated that temporary lane closures, affecting the George Town-bound lanes of the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, would be implemented from June 16 to 27, from 10 pm to 5 am, to facilitate the dismantling of the existing pedestrian bridge.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, IJM Land emphasized that the works will be conducted during off-peak hours to minimize disruption. Motorists are advised to adhere to traffic instructions and exercise caution when approaching the affected area. The company further detailed plans to improve accessibility to The Light Waterfront Penang by opening an elevated road from Jalan Tunku Kudin (Bayan Lepas-bound) to the development, effective July 1. This new route will offer direct and seamless access for drivers traveling from the Green Lane area.
Additionally, IJM Land announced the inauguration of a permanent exit road (Bayan Lepas-bound) from The Light Waterfront Penang. Consequently, the current temporary exit will be permanently closed. The developer assured that all necessary signage has been installed to guide motorists through the new route efficiently.
