Part of Bencoolen Street to be closed for two years

The closure will be between Prinsep Link and Bras Basah Road for the construction of Bencoolen DTL3 station.

The proposed Bencoolen station is located close to the junction of Bencoolen Street and Bras Basah Road, according to the Land Transport Authority. “To construct the 43m deep underground station, works will have to be carried out along the confined and built-up corridor which is surrounded by high rise buildings,” said LTA.

The stretch of Bencoolen Street between Prinsep Link and Bras Basah Road will be closed from 16 October to end 2013.

Road improvement works will be carried out to enhance the capacity of adjacent roads. LTA said new traffic lights will be installed at the junction of Waterloo Street and Bras Basah Road, as well as Queen Street and Stamford Road. Several other roads around Bencoolen Street, including Middle Road and Selegie Road, will also be improved.

All road enhancement works will be carried out before the road closure.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
