Plans to Manage Dust and Noise Pollution from Enhancement Works for Tampines Expressway

4 Mr Desmond Choo asked the Minister for Transport with regard to the enhancement works being undertaken for the Tampines Expressway, what are the near- and long-term mitigating plans to manage the dust and noise pollution arising from these works.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: During construction, the Land Transport Authority and its contractors will install temporary noise barriers, enclose noisy machinery and schedule noisy works during the day. They will water the work areas periodically and wash construction vehicles before they leave the work site to minimise dust pollution.
