The 2nd Penang Bridge was open to the Public since March 2014. The Bridge is longer than the 1st Bridge but it has 2 lanes for cars compared to 3 lanes on the 1st Bridge. The drive is not so easy as it is narrower with 2 lanes only. With Big Lorries using the bridge, only add to the difficult ride.Traffic coming from Kuala Lumpur can turn left before reaching the Juru Rest Area, and head towards the 2nd Bridge. The Drive is slow at 80 kph speed limit. You will end up in a traffic Jam if you head towards Bayan Lepas and Georgetown. Here the jam is caused by a few Traffic lights and 4 lanes moving into 2 lanes. The traffic is very bad, up to 30 mins or more. I do not advice using the 2nd bridge. Jam, Jam, Jam terrible Jam. Better to take the 1st Bridge. Alternatively, you can turn towards Batu Mauh and cut across the industrial area and use GPS set to Queensbay Mall. Wish you luck when using the 2nd Bridge. Note: The 2nd Bridge is mainly used by lorries going to the Factories located in Bayan Lepas Area.
