Overview of Butterworth Outer Ring Road (BORR)
The north bound will bring motorists to Alor Setar while the south-bound will bring motorists to Ipoh.
This highway is built to reduce the heavy traffics on the Sungai Dua-Juru North-South Expressway (PLUS) at the rush hours and peak seasons. Nowadays it is also an important access road for the Raja Uda’s people to Perai and Megamall.
The people of Raja Uda can travel half of the highway to the Sunway Carnival Mall. Along the highway, motorists can reach the ferry terminal from both bounds and cross over to Penang faster. The Penang Bridge is always in heavy traffic as it is the cheapest link to Penang.
Butterworth Outer Ring Road (BORR) has 3 two-way Toll Plazas – TP1 (Prai Toll Plaza), TP2 (Bagan Ajam Toll Plaza) and TP3 (Sg. Nyior Toll Plaza). It provides kilometer marker on the median for easy reference in time of breakdown and emergency.
Notable features of the expressway include Sungai Prai Bridge, which bridges Perai River and Sungai Maklom Bridge, which bridges Maklom River.
The BORR serves two ports namely the Deep Water Wharves and North Butterworth Container Terminal. It provides a separation between local town traffic and heavy commercial traffic, impetus and generation of economic activity for future development of Butterworth town and transformation of Butterworth landscape from backwaters of Penang into a modern vibrant city.
