Mr Tay Boon Too asked the Minister for Law and National Development if tenders for the construction of the two pedestrian crossings at Upper Paya Lebar Road have been awarded, and when the construction is expected to commence and to be completed.

The Minister for Law and National Development (Mr E. W. Barker): Sir, I am pleased to inform the Member that the construction of an overhead pedestrian bridge for Upper Paya Lebar Road near Elling South School has commenced and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Consideration will be given to the provision of another crossing, possibly a push-button light-controlled pedestrian crossing, across Upper Paya Lebar Road after the road-widening works which are now being done are completed.
