OBJECTIVES PROJECT

1. Reduce Congestion.

Traffic congestion is a condition on road networks that occurs inslower speeds, longer trip times, and increased vehicular queuing. Ifthe undersea tunnel managed to set up, the customers have threechoices road to use (Penang Bridge, Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam

Shah Bridge and Penang Undersea Tunnel).

2. Improve equality in society.

Middle of Seberang Perai and South of Seberang Perai alreadygiven two bridges that can help to improve the degree of

accessibility and enhance economic development in Georgetown,Penang. But this equality left out the north of Seberang Peraibehind. So, the third hub routes will also ensure a balanceddevelopment at north of Seberang Perai .

Estimate Cost:

Construction cost + maintenance cost+ New road construction

cost + Environmental cost + Maritime loss cost + others.

= 6.3 bil + 1.6 bil + 1.2 bil + Environmental cost*+ Maritime

loss cost* + others

= 9.1 bil + Environmental cost*+ Maritim loss cost* + others

Estimate Benefits:

Toll payment x number of vehicles per year + others

= RM 9.4 + 1 mil + others

= RM 9.4 mil + others

After 10 years = (RM 9.4 mil x 10) = 9.4 bil + others

Because:

1) The costs to make the tunnel is too high andtake a long time to be completed.

- Include a lot of costs like cost of construction,

security, maintenance, and environmental cost.- Can use the money to upgrade the facilities at

north of Seberang Perai.

2) Not the best way to improve congestion.

- Already have two bridge but still face congestion problem.

- so, must find other alternative: improve public transport

system.

- Campaign: promote usage of public transport.

4) Disturb maritime logistics development .- Fishermen and cargo ships will be interrupt during the

construction.

- decrease income of the maritime.

3) Environmental effect

- Water and soil pollution.

- Marin ecosystem will die.

Conclusion

Penangs 2ndbridge just completed, and

making another tunnel in 2016 might to

earlier and this rushing decision also might

drag our country to a loss. So, its better for

the Government to think for the second time

and find another alternative to develop the

north of Seberang Perai than take a risky andhigh cost solution.
