Those who cycle around Bukit Merah, Bukit Timah, Kallang and the city centre will be able to ride along an additional 60km of cycling paths by 2029, with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) calling a tender on Dec 18 to build the new infrastructure.

The new paths will comprise a mix of dedicated cycling paths and shared paths, with some stretches to be sheltered from the elements. Shared paths, which are typically marked with dotted red lines, can be used by both pedestrians and active mobility device users, including cyclists.

In response to queries, LTA said its tentative plans are to start construction of the approximately 60km of extra paths in early 2026. The latest construction tender comes on top of 20km of cycling paths that are already being built in the same four areas to improve connectivity to schools, neighbourhood centres and transport nodes like MRT stations. The 20km of paths are estimated to be completed in December 2025.

These works will contribute to an estimated total of 150km of cycling paths in Singapore's central region that will be ready by 2030.
