Pedestrian Foot Bridge Connecting Gardens by the Bay and Suntec City Areas

Mr Lim Biow Chuan asked the Minister for National Development what is the progress on the construction of the pedestrian foot bridge from the Tanjong Rhu/Gardens by the Bay area to the Suntec City area.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: The pedestrian footbridge is intended to link the proposed Bay East and Bay Central gardens of the Gardens by the Bay. The project is in its concept design phase. Actual implementation will depend on the pace of development of these two gardens, as well as the developments nearby, including the Eastern Region MRT Line development and the staging of the Formula 1 events at Bay Central.
