First phase of Greater Sentosa upgrade to begin; Orchard Road refresh ongoing: Alvin Tan


SINGAPORE – Sentosa’s infrastructure will be upgraded with a new transport hub to link the island and Pulau Brani in Keppel Harbour, which will be collectively known as Greater Sentosa.

These upgrades are part of the first phase of the Greater Sentosa Master Plan, which was announced by Minister of State for Trade and Industry Alvin Tan on March 2. He was speaking during the debate on the Ministry of Trade and Industry’s budget.

“We also plan to replace the Sentosa Express to improve connectivity,” said Mr Tan.

The Sentosa Express is a 2.1km, four-station monorail connecting VivoCity at HarbourFront to Sentosa.

When complete, Greater Sentosa will also house lifestyle and hospitality developments, he said.

Sentosa’s beaches will undergo rejuvenation works, including strengthened coastal protection measures to both enhance visitor experience and guard against rising sea levels.
