Jalan Tan Sri Teh Ewe Lim, Batu Lanchang, Penang (18 September 2012)
Jalan Tan Sri Teh Ewe Lim is a major road in the suburb of George Town. Formerly known as Batu Lanchang Road, it links Green Lane (Jalan Masjid Negeri) to the Jelutong Main Road. Tan Sri Teh Ewe Lim was a Penang politician who served as Acting Chief Minister during the term of the late Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu.
Until the mid 1970s Batu Lanchang Road was quite rural, with vegetable plots and farms. Since then, the area has been developed, and now is densely populated with many high rise apartments. To cope with the increase in traffic, Batu Lanchang Road has been widened a number of times. It is today livelier than ever, as there are many food courts along the stretch. The Batu Lanchang Autopont Bridge was constructed in the 1990s to enable direct access for northbound traffic from Green Lane.
