Underground Connection between Marina Bay MRT Station and Downtown MRT Station

1 Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for Transport (a) whether there will be an underground connection between Marina Bay MRT Station and Downtown MRT station; and (b) if not, whether LTA can consider building a permanent covered linkway connecting both stations on the road surface level.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: The Marina Bay and Downtown Mass Rapid Transit stations will be connected via an underground link. The Land Transport Authority will work with the Urban Redevelopment Authority to provide for the underground link as part of its future plans.
