While the towers offer stunning views and are a welcome sight for visitors, authorities are warning motorists against stopping on the bridge for photos or videos, citing safety concerns.
Have you been to Penang lately? If you crossed from mainland to island using the Penang Bridge, you might have noticed a row of structures in the sea running parallel to the bridge. They’re actually monopole transmission towers by Tenaga Nasional Berhad , and six of the towers are now illuminated nightly from 8pm to 4am.
The Tanjong Bunga ADUN said that the towers have been operational since December 23, and Penang governor Tun Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak witnessed the first lighting of the LED lights on new year’s eve. The solar-powered LEDs can emit 200 different colours in combination.
