The 1km tunnel section is part of the 21.5km North-South Corridor tunnel which is Singapore’s first integrated transport corridor combining bus lanes and pedestrian and cycling routes.
The 1km tunnel section awarded under this latest contract between Suffolk Walk and Novena Rise will feature an underground pedestrian network, pedestrian overhead bridges, bus stops, sheltered walkways and cycling paths.
