Works are expected to commence in first quarter of 2019 and the indicative completion date for this project is the first half of 2022.
2. Hwa Seng Builder Pte Ltd will be responsible for completing the construction of the viaduct, including the demolition of any structures deemed unsafe. Hwa Seng Builder Pte Ltd is an established contractor who has completed various road construction projects. They recently completed the new road link connecting Punggol Central to Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) and TPE(PIE) which was opened to traffic on 25 Nov 2018 as part of the first phase of the expansion of the KPE/TPE Interchange.
