The Penang Bridge, route E36, is a 13.5-kilometre (8.4-mile)
dual carriageway toll bridge and controlled-access highway in the state of
Penang, Malaysia. The bridge connects Perai on the mainland side of the state
with Gelugor on the island, crossing the Selatan Strait. The bridge was the
first and, until 2014, the only road connection between the peninsula and the
island. The bridge is the second-longest bridge in Malaysia and the
fifth-longest in Southeast Asia by total length, with a length over water of
8.4 kilometres (5.2 miles).
The bridge was inaugurated on 14 September 1985] The current
concession holder and maintainer of the bridge is PLUS Expressways. Penang
Bridge Sdn Bhd was the concession holder before it was merged with the current
concessionaire.
The route begins at the Penang Bridge interchange with the
North–South Expressway Northern Route and Jalan Perusahaan Perai. The route
then briefly goes southwest, where island-bound commuters proceed to pay the
bridge toll. At the shore where the bridge begins, the route turns westwards,
crossing the Selatan Strait. In the middle of the bridge, the route bends
slightly northwest towards Gelugor. On the island side, the route ends at the
shore at its interchange with the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway and the
Gelugor Highway
The commemorative postage stamps to mark the opening of the
Penang Bridge on 1985 was issued by then the Malaysian Postal Services
Department (now Pos Malaysia) on 15 September 1985. The denominations for these
stamps were 20 cents, 40 cents, and RM 1.00.bingweidaqi
槟威大桥
槟威大桥计划是由马来西亚第二任首相敦拉萨在1960年代提出。前槟城首席部长敦林苍祐也曾经在1964年竞选时提出这个概念。1971年,马来西亚联邦政府基于槟城的经济发展潜力而认为应在槟城和威省之间兴建一座桥梁。1982年,第四任首相敦马哈迪拍案决定展开这个计划,并由韩国现代公司负责建造。1985年建成通车。

1985年建成通车。大桥跨跃面方海峡,把海峡两岸的槟榔屿与马来半岛上的威斯利连接起来,所以称为槟威大桥。大桥长达8320米,是世界上第三大桥,桥拱下可通行万吨巨轮。
槟威大桥是一座斜张桥,耗资八亿令吉,从1982年开始建造,经历3年半后才竣工。1985年9月14日由当时的副首相敦慕沙希淡主持通车。
2003年,由于交通流量的偏高,槟威大桥有限公司展开了扩建工程,从拥有4条车道扩建至6条车道,并在2009年8月竣工。
从大陆到槟城也可以坐渡轮,由于渡轮收费低廉,很多人仍喜欢乘渡轮过海峡。槟威大桥位于马来西亚槟城州,是槟城州的著名地标。这长达13.5公里的大桥连接槟城州的槟岛和对岸的威省。在威省,槟威大桥和南北大道相接,可直接通往马来西亚半岛西海岸的大小城镇或北上泰国和南下新加坡。 槟威大桥在1985年9月14日正式通车。在1985年之前,渡轮是通往槟岛和威省之间的主要交通工具。
