The Penang Undersea Tunnel is a tunnel under planning between Butterworth on the mainland and George Town on the island of Penang in northern Malaysia. The 7.2 km tunnel will connect Butterworth, Seberang Perai in the east to George Town, Penang Island in the west. When completed in 2025, it will become the first undersea tunnel in Malaysia and the second in Southeast Asia after the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) in Singapore. The undersea tunnel is part of the Penang Roads and Tunnels project.
The project is undertaken by the State Government of Penang and the main contractor Consortium Zenith BUCG Sdn Bhd a member of Zenith Group. With a cost of RM6.3 billion, the tunnel will be the largest privately funded public works project in Penang.[1] There will be a toll plaza and also a railway reserve for future Penang LRT at the undersea tunnel.
