TELOK BLANGAH CRESCENT (Construction of overhead bridge)

Mr M.K.A. Jabbar asked the Minister for National Development whether he will consider the construction of an overhead bridge across Henderson Road at Block 1, Telok Blangah Crescent, for the benefit of pedestrians who cross this road at that point.

Mr Teh Cheang Wan: Mr Speaker, Sir, at present residents at Telok Blangah Crescent can cross Henderson Road using the signalized crossing at the junction of Telok Blangah Way and Henderson Road. Nevertheless, the PWD will monitor the pedestrian movement in the area. A pedestrian overhead bridge will be provided in FY 84 if the pedestrian traffic justifies it.
