3 Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) power cables caught fire on the Penang Bridge, causing a massive traffic jam.

The jam on both sides of the bridge, leading to the city and Butterworth, eased only after more than seven hours.

The 10am fire, which occurred some 2km away from the Prai toll plaza, also caused a two-minute power disruption in parts of Bayan Baru, Gelugor and the city yesterday.
