The Ulu Pandan Park Connector in Clementi was fully reopened on June 30 after a landslide that piled soil onto the pathway and into the canal in September 2022.
The Housing Board said on June 30 that it has finished reconstruction works to restore the damaged section of the park connector and strengthen the slopes on the western edge of the newly completed Clementi NorthArc Build-To-Order project, where nearly all the flats have been taken up.
HDB had reopened sections of the park connector in phases, with the final stretch initially due to be reopened in December 2023 before the date was pushed back.
Senior Minister of State for National Development Sim Ann, who visited the site and joined residents for a morning workout on June 30, told reporters the reopened area covers the final 150m of the affected bank.
Facilities that had been planned at Clementi NorthArc were also opened, including a sheltered pavilion, a playground, fitness stations and a ramp leading to the park connector.
Ms Sim said the remaining precinct facilities for the project have been completed along with restoration and repair works.
"Our residents have been looking forward to being able to walk unimpeded along the Ulu Pandan Park Connector south bank, and now they can do so," she added.
HDB said 98 per cent of 1,179 units at the six-block NorthArc estate have been taken up, and nearly all the residents have collected the keys to their new homes.
