Construction of Lifts at Pedestrian Overhead Bridges in Eunos Ward

Mr Pritam Singh asked the Minister for Transport in view of the completion of trial trenching works, when does the LTA expect to construct lifts at the following pedestrian overhead bridges in the Eunos ward of Aljunied GRC at (i) opposite Block 136 Bedok Reservoir Road (ii) opposite Block 151 Bedok Reservoir Road and (iii) opposite Block 613 Bedok Reservoir Road, respectively.

Mr Jeffrey Siow: The pedestrian overhead bridges near Block 613 and Block 151 Bedok Reservoir Road are included in the current phase of the lift upgrading programme by the Land Transport Authority (LTA). LTA has completed feasibility studies and will commence construction for the two bridges, from 2027 and 2028, respectively.

The pedestrian overhead bridge near Block 136 Bedok Reservoir Road is not being considered under the current phase as there is an existing barrier-free pedestrian crossing nearby. We will review if this bridge can be included in subsequent phases of the programme.
