PASSENGERS will soon be able to enjoy a seamless connectivity experience between the Penang International Airport (PIA) and the multistorey car park building when the construction of the link bridge is completed.
Penang Infrastructure, Transport and Digital Committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said the construction works of the link bridge and other components of the project were scheduled to be completed by April 27 this year.
“The project, undertaken by the Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB), includes constructing a covered link bridge from Level 3 of the multistorey car park to the departure-level terminal building of the PIA; a covered crossing at the ground level; pedestrian crossing traffic light at the ground level; and improving access ramps and the ground level.
“The cost of the project was RM4.6 million,” Zairil told Buletin Mutiara today, adding that the project started on Aug 18 last year (2023).
He anticipated the link bridge would provide seamless connectivity between the airport and the multistorey car park.
“Crucially, it will ensure safety, offering independent access away from road traffic and shelter from the rain,” Zairil added.
