SINGAPORE \u2013 A new PIE cycling and pedestrian bridge that will be part of a route linking Bishan to the city centre is nearly complete, but parts of the expressway will be closing for works to continue apace.<\/p>\n
The PIE bridge, measuring nearly 700m, is the final link in the Bishan-to-City Links project that will provide a continuous 10km green route from Bishan to the city for pedestrians and cyclists.<\/p>\n
When complete, cyclists can get from Bishan to the city centre in under 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
The route will also give Singaporeans better access to parks, waterfront spaces and nearby neighbourhoods in the Kallang River area, said National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat in a Facebook post on July 2.<\/p>\n
Works on several other projects in the area have also begun, he added.<\/p>\n
These include a new park connector linked to the bridge, a new underpass leading to Mar Thoma Road, and a wider path along Kallang River between Mar Thoma Road and Jalan Taman, he added.<\/p>\n
The authorities are also studying how best to use the open space under Whampoa Flyover on the CTE for sports and recreational facilities, including multi-purpose courts that can be used for pickleball and other sports.<\/p>\n
The PIE bridge and improvement works are expected be completed by the second half of 2027, he said.<\/p>\n
Another cycling and pedestrian bridge for Bishan, Marymount and Ang Mo Kio residents will be built and linked to the start of the Bishan-to-City bridge. The bridge will also connect both sides of the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and will provide access to the future Teck Ghee MRT station.<\/p>\n
To carry out works on the rest of the Bishan-to-City bridge, parts of the PIE will be closed on four nights between mid-July and mid-August.<\/p>\n
These closures will take place during off-peak early morning hours, from midnight to 5am, said the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) in a statement on July 2.<\/p>\n
