SINGAPORE – Connectivity in the Central Business District will be improved with the building of a new sheltered walkway, which will link Tanjong Pagar Community Club to the Tanjong Pagar MRT station.
The walkway will connect the CC in Cantonment Road to Exit A of the MRT station.
The move will provide residents of the Pinnacle@Duxton, Tanjong Pagar Plaza and other developments in the area with greater access to the station, said Tanjong Pagar GRC MP Foo Cexiang.
Announcing the plans during a National Day dinner on Aug 15, Foo noted that the plans will take a few years to come to fruition, without giving a timeline.
He added that they are in line with the Land Transport Authority’s Friendly Streets initiative, which aims to make walking trips to key neighbourhood amenities safer and more convenient.
The dinner, held at Tanjong Pagar CC, was attended by more than 800 residents of Tanjong Pagar GRC as well as the Radin Mas and Queenstown constituencies.
Foo noted that the new pathway will provide high-clearance covered crossings across four thoroughfares – Yan Kit Road, Tanjong Pagar Road, Tras Street and Peck Seah Street.
This will complement an existing sheltered pathway connecting residents in the Spottiswoode and Cantonment areas to the newly opened Cantonment station on the Circle Line.
“When all the infrastructure is completed, you will have sheltered, inclusive access to Cantonment station on the Circle Line and Tanjong Pagar station on the East-West Line,” he told residents.
