LTA to upgrade 17 pedestrian overhead bridges next year

Lifts will be installed.

According to a release, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has called tenders to retrofit 17 existing pedestrian overhead bridges (POBs) and allow for the installation of lifts.

The installation of lifts at these POBs is part of efforts to further enhance accessibility to our transport infrastructure, especially for the less mobile. In January this year, Minister for Transport Lui Tuck Yew announced that LTA will extend the installation of lifts to about another 40 POBs island-wide. The 17 POBs are the first batch of the 40 POBs to be retrofitted. This is in addition to the ongoing works to install lifts at 6 POBs next to MRT stations.

LTA has conducted site surveys as part of the preparatory work to ensure that it is technically feasible to install the lifts at the selected POBs. LTA will announce the locations of the remaining POBs by early next year.

Construction will begin early next year and the lifts will be progressively completed from 2016 onwards.

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.
