'''Penang Outer Ring Road''' ('''PORR''') is a planned expressway in [[George Town, Penang|George Town]], [[Penang]], [[Malaysia]]. If constructed, it will connect [[Gelugor]] in the south, near [[Penang Bridge]] to Tanjung Bungah in the north. After a mid-term review of the [[Ninth Malaysia Plan]], this project, together with Penang Monorail has been postponed indefinitely.

==History==

The concession was awarded to Peninsular Metroworks Sdn Bhd (PMW), a company formed in 1996 but the company was not able to get the project off the ground. PMW was formed by Nadi Senandung Sdn Bhd (55%), Yayasan Bumiputera Pulau Pinang Bhd (35%) and an individual. It was reported in early May 2007 that [[Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad]] (MRCB) will become the lead shareholder of the company and will start the construction of the road.

About 60 percent of the 17&nbsp;km highway will be elevated. Development cost is expected to be RM1.02 billion.
