Persiaran Kuari, George Town

Quarry Drive, Penang (1 March 2009)


Persiaran Kuari, formerly Quarry Drive, is a road in the Jesselton Heights neighbourhood of George Town, Penang. It is the road that goes through the Penang Island City Park. Located on the western edge of town, it got its name from the sand quarrying that took place in the area. The road was built by the British for this purpose, and it included the bridge across Sungai Air Terjun.

Today sand quarrying in the area is only a distant memory, and recreation replaces mining as the principal activity here. The stretch of Jalan Kuari from the Jalan Utama junction to the Lengkok Jesselton junction is a two-way street while the stretch from the Lengkok Jesselton junction to the Jalan Kebun Bunga junction is a one-way street for traffic flowing from south to north.
