Penang Bridge


The 13.5km long cross-sea bridge connects the Penang island with the Malaysian peninsula. It was constructed between 1982 and 1985. Currently a second and longer bridge (23km) is in construction. This bridge is one of Malaysia's famous landmarks, one of national prides. It's certainly an amazing piece of modern engineering. It's a pity that I couldn't make decent photos of the bridge. It's actually not easy, because the days are too bright in Penang, sometimes you can't see the whole bridge at all.
