LTA eyes new flyover across West Coast Highway at Jalan Buroh

Construction works begin in 4Q.

According to a release, the Land Transport Authority will construct a new dual-two lane flyover at the intersection of West Coast Highway and Jalan Buroh (Buroh Circus).

As part of this project, LTA will also widen West Coast Highway and West Coast Road between Pandan Garden and Pandan Crescent.

When completed, the flyover will relieve the existing traffic congestion experienced at the road intersection. It will provide traffic heading to and from the city along West Coast Highway and West Coast Road with a direct link across the intersection. These enhancements will also add traffic capacity and improve the overall traffic flow along West Coast Highway, Jalan Buroh and West Coast Road.

To meet the anticipated increase in traffic demand due to new developments in the western sector, LTA has been improving the overall road network along the entire West Coast Road corridor progressively. In 2011, LTA completed the construction of a flyover at the junction of West Coast Highway and Clementi Road, as well as improved the traffic junction at Clementi Road.

LTA has also recently announced the widening of Pasir Panjang Road and West Coast Road between South Buona Vista Road and West Coast Link. These road improvements will improve traffic capacity and flow. At the same time, it will also facilitate smoother movements for buses.

LTA has called the tender for the project. The construction works are expected to begin in the 4th Quarter 2013 and complete by 1st Quarter 2017. LTA will work closely with the appointed contractors to ensure that any inconvenience to the public will be kept to a minimum during the construction.

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.
