How much is S$300 compared to the Euro?

Hmm...S$300 = 143.492 EUR? Not much value, I guess.

what's that 300 million going to be spent on? sidewalks?

"The Government's initial investment in key infrastructure in the Bay area will go towards developing a 3.35km waterfront promenade around Marina Bay, a new pedestrian cum vehicular bridge that will link to Marina Centre, as well as the extension of the Common Services Tunnel and the road and sewer network to bring utilities to serve the new developments, said the URA statement."

Cant you read????

umm other than the sewer and infrasturcture stuff.. isnt it basically sidewalk?! when will those be built? if now or very near future... wont the bridge be quite purposeless..

"The promenade and bridge are targeted to complete by 2006 and 2008 respectively."

Why should it? Be able to walk from Collyer Quay to Marina Centre via this route would be amazing for scraper fanatics like us!!

In the mid term, they will develop the waterfront and sidewalk and probably have activities there, THEN when they finish that, they will build the pedestrian bridge so people can walk over from Marina Centre/Square.

I think its ideal as the targetted completion dates should more or less coincide with the completion of the 2x apartment towers and 2x Raffles Quay, meaning that there will be office workers and residents using the waterfront

ehhh someone told me collyer quay is the old merlion site... i was wondering how the bridge cross over to marina centree....

looking at the map... i think the workers and residents might be more inclined to use the current roads? or might there be a new project we dont know about

redstone · March 17th, 2004, 06:11 AM

What's that curving thing?

The pedestrian bridge?

The future bridge will allow pedestrians to walk in a continuous loop around Marina Bay, and of course when all the developments are completed in the future I am sure they will make use of the new bridge.

I think its just a perception thingy. You can see the shadow that indicates its elevated.

The promontory sites would be used for "Civic & Community Institution" I hear.
