Not long now: A sneak peek at Singapore’s first undersea road tunnel at the Marina Coastal Expressway. — The Straits Times / Asia News Network
THE Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) – Singapore’s first undersea road, costliest expressway and one with the widest tunnels – will open on Dec 29, four years after the S$4.3bil (RM11bil) project started.
The 5km expressway, at S$860mil (RM2.2bil) per kilometre, has a 420m section that goes under the sea-bed just south of the Marina Barrage.
Linking the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway to the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), it will allow swift east-west travel. Drivers currently using the East Coast Parkway (ECP) to join up with the AYE can switch to the MCE from Dec 29.
The ECP will be downgraded to an arterial road that serves the Marina downtown. — The Straits Times / Asia News Network
