A slew of road improvements in the Tanglin and Dawson Road area, including a new 1.2km road extension and the widening of several roads, is in the works to meet an anticipated increase in traffic demand and improve access to future developments.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) called a tender on Oct 30 for the design and construction of the road improvements. The tender will close on Dec 27.
The enhancements are:
• A 1.2km extension of Kay Siang Road to Queensway.
• The widening of an existing section of Kay Siang Road and Tanglin Road between Margaret Drive and Kay Siang Road from one lane in each direction to two lanes in each direction.
• 2.2km of cycling paths along the extended Kay Siang Road, stretches of Tanglin Road, as well as at the junction of Margaret Drive and Tanglin Road, which connects to the Alexandra Park Connector.
• Three new bus stops and the relocation of eight existing bus stops.
LTA told The Straits Times on Nov 8 that there are no cycling paths along Kay Siang Road and Tanglin Road now.
Work on the improvements is slated to start in mid-2025 and be completed by end-2028.
Some of the newer developments in the area include Housing Board projects SkyOasis@Dawson and SkyParc@Dawson, which were completed in 2021.
