LTA to construct more than 200km of sheltered walkways

$156.6M contracts were awarded.

The LTA is set to build sheltered walkways around 59 MRT stations to bring added comfort to all who walk to their ride on the public transport network.

Once completed, the Walk2Ride programme will add more than 200km of new sheltered walkways, four times more than the 46km today.

The LTA awarded two contracts worth a total of $156.6 million for the project on Wednesday.

The first contract covers 24 MRT stations in the north-western part of Singapore and was awarded to Singapore Piling & Civil Engineering Pte Ltd – Shincon Industrial Pte Ltd Joint Venture for $80.3 million.

The second contract, which covers 35 MRT stations in the north-eastern part of Singapore, is awarded to Planar One & Associates Pte Ltd for $76.3 million.

These walkways will provide sheltered connectivity to all developments within a 400m radius around the 59 stations.

Works for the two contracts are expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2014 and will complete progressively by 2018.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
