It will also provide faster alternate routes / entrances from the airport to the City.

It will be the main catalyst that will help to create a commercial centre by bringing steady traffic to the Kuala Terengganu City Centre (KTCC) while promoting shipbuilding industry and avoiding segmentation problems between the two estuaries.

Its iconic design will certainly make it a tourist attraction that will positively boost tourism industry in Kuala Terengganu.
