Jalan Teluk Kumbar (9 September 2017)

Jalan Teluk Kumbar is a main road on the southwestern part of Penang Island. It connects with Jalan Bayan Lepas on the eastern end and with Jalan Balik Pulau with the western. The road also forms a junction with Jalan Gertak Sanggul at Teluk Kumbar village. This road is part of Federal Route 6 that encircles Penang Island. The road was first laid out by the British in the 1920s. It underwent a major upgrading between 2005 and 2013 (described under Balik Pulau hill road), a much delayed project that eventually reduced that sharp cornerings on the hill road and added six viaducts.

Updates on Jalan Teluk Kumbar

12 October 2026: Property News reports that Jalan Teluk Kumbar is set for widening to ease traffic congestion. This follows a RM5 million design study by the federal government for the proposed widening of the approximately 3km road, said Bayan Lepas Assemblyman Datuk Azrul. The widening will cover a stretch from Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Batu to the Teluk Kumbar vehicle inspection centre. This is the current phase.

The next phase of widening will extend from Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Batu to the junction of Cangkat Bukit Belah. This will involve two developers with residential projects which are either underway or planned in the area.
