Justification for Building Sheltered Pedestrian Overhead Bridges

Mr Sitoh Yih Pin asked the Minister for Transport (a) what is the reason why some pedestrian overhead bridges are sheltered while others are not; and (b) whether shelter can be provided for the pedestrian overhead bridge at Braddell Road near Carmichael Road and its linked walkways to the surrounding bus stops.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: In building shelters for pedestrian overhead bridges, Land Transport Authority (LTA) prioritises those bridges that are more frequently used. We will review the case for the bridge at Braddell Road.
