If you're planning to visit Penang or travelling between Penang Island and the mainland on Saturday, 8 August 2026, it's worth taking a few minutes to plan your journey.
The Penang Second Bridge (Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah Bridge) will be temporarily closed in one direction from 8:00 PM until 3:00 AM.
The affected route is Batu Maung towards Batu Kawan, meaning travellers heading from Penang Island to Seberang Perai, Butterworth, Bukit Mertajam, or the PLUS Highway should use the Penang First Bridge instead.
If you're arriving in Penang during the weekend, travelling to the airport, checking into your hotel, or exploring the island, allowing extra travelling time will help you avoid unnecessary delays.
August is one of the busiest months in Penang, with many visitors coming for local attractions, food, shopping, beaches, and the George Town Festival. Roads around popular areas are expected to be busier than usual, so planning ahead will make your holiday much more enjoyable.
If you're looking for a hassle-free way to explore the island, our Penang Private Tour and Penang Transport with Driver services allow you to enjoy your trip without worrying about driving, parking, or traffic. Whether you're visiting George Town, Penang Hill, Batu Ferringhi, Kek Lok Si Temple, or local hawker food destinations, we'll help you travel comfortably at your own pace.
