The junction of Lebuhraya Jelutong with Lebuhraya Batu Lanchang (18 May 2013)
Lebuhraya Jelutong, also known as Jelutong Avenue, is a road in Jelutong, Penang. It should not be confused with Lebuhraya Pantai Jelutong or Jelutong Expressway, which is today known as Lebuhraya Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu. It begins at Jalan Jelutong, and used to be a no-through road, but with the recent development of the Central Park Condominium, Lebuhraya Jelutong has been extended to connect with Lebuhraya Batu Lanchang.
It is not possible to drive from one end of Lebuhraya Jelutong to the other, as the road is blocked in the middle. Roads branching out from Lebuhraya Jelutong include Taman Jelutong, Lintang Jelutong and Ipoh Lane. Lebuhraya Jelutong is often congested in the morning, due to people going to the Jelutong Market which spills into Ipoh Lane.
