The Bandar Sri Pinang station is a future elevated light rail transit station on the Mutiara line in George Town, Penang. It is situated at Bandar Sri Pinang, along the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway.
Following the takeover of the Mutiara line by the Malaysian federal government, in December 2024, the Bandar Sri Pinang station was announced as the first station to be constructed.[2] Mass Rapid Transit Corporation, the developer of the LRT line, had conducted prior consultations with the elected state assemblyman for Sungai Pinang Lim Siew Khim on the upcoming construction works.[2][3]
Construction started on 11 January 2025 with a groundbreaking ceremony presided by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. The station is expected to be completed by 2031, in line with the completion of the Mutiara line.[4][5]
