Construction of Sheltered Walkways from St Michael's Bus Interchange to Residential Blocks at Lorong Limau and Whampoa Road to Improve Connectivity for Elderly Residents

75 Mr Shawn Loh asked the Minister for Transport whether the LTA could consider building sheltered walkways from St Michael's Bus Interchange to nearby HDB blocks at Lorong Limau and along Whampoa Rd, as part of LTA's commitment to provide pedestrians with a sheltered walk within 200 metres from bus interchanges, especially given the higher needs of the ageing population at Whampoa.

Mr Jeffrey Siow: Covered linkways will be provided from St Michael's Bus Terminal to nearby Housing and Development Board blocks within 200 metres. Construction will begin by 2029.
