Progress of Improvement Works on Bukit Timah Canal between Jalan Anak Bukit Flyover and Jalan Kampong Chantek and Estimated Date of Completion

12 Mr Christopher de Souza asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) what has been the progress of improvement works on the Bukit Timah Canal between the Jalan Anak Bukit flyover and Jalan Kampong Chantek; and (b) when is the estimated date of completion of these works.

Ms Grace Fu Hai Yien: PUB commenced the drainage improvement work on Bukit Timah Canal between Rifle Range Road (near Jalan Anak Bukit Flyover) and Jalan Kampong Chantek in 2019. As of December 2021, about a quarter of the project is completed. PUB is on track to complete the remaining works by first quarter 2024.

PUB has also completed the road raising works for a 450-metre stretch of Dunearn Road between Sime Darby Centre and Binjai Park in November 2021. This is an interim measure to reduce flood risks at Dunearn Road before the ongoing drainage improvement works are completed in 2024.
