Part of Bencoolen Street to be closed for two years

The closure will be between Prinsep Link and Bras Basah Road for the construction of Bencoolen DTL3 station.

The proposed Bencoolen station is located close to the junction of Bencoolen Street and Bras Basah Road, according to the Land Transport Authority. “To construct the 43m deep underground station, works will have to be carried out along the confined and built-up corridor which is surrounded by high rise buildings,” said LTA.

The stretch of Bencoolen Street between Prinsep Link and Bras Basah Road will be closed from 16 October to end 2013.

Road improvement works will be carried out to enhance the capacity of adjacent roads. LTA said new traffic lights will be installed at the junction of Waterloo Street and Bras Basah Road, as well as Queen Street and Stamford Road. Several other roads around Bencoolen Street, including Middle Road and Selegie Road, will also be improved.

All road enhancement works will be carried out before the road closure.

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.
