BRIDGES COMPONENTS
The project also consists of the construction of road and railway bridges to replace the Causeway. The removal ofthe Causeway will be followed by the dredging of a navigation channel to allow passage of vessels.

RELOCATION OF WATER MAINS
Existing Water Mains, which are routed along Jalan Bukit Chagar, have been relocated to facilitate the construction of the CIQ Complex, while the Water Mains along Jalan Jim Quee have been relocated to facilitate the construction of JB Sentral and internal roads. In addition to the diversion of the major Water Mains, other SAJ Water Mains serving the surrounding areas have also been diverted and upgraded to serve the additional needs of the Integrated CIQ Complex and ancillary buildings.

The Water Mains running along the Causeway will be replaced with submarine pipes, and where necessary, the pipes will be protected by armour protection units. Cathodic protection will be applied to the submarine pipes to prevent corrosion.

Speaking in Johor Bahru on Thursday,Malaysia's Deputy Minister of Works Mohd Zin Mohamed says Malaysia has symbolically launched construction works of the 'scenic bridge' which is expected to be operational by April 2009.

I am convinced the bridge can be fully completed in 36 months. It will also conform with international standards and no problem will arise," he said.

2.Have we been cheated?

Wisma Putra( MY's MFA)has clarified to us in a TPN that Malaysia remains committed to negotiations for a full bridge and only soil studies are being conducted.

1.Have we been warned?
Have u noticed that this news came on the same day 9 Mar 2006
that the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) will test fire its latest anti-ship missile --the Sea Skua --next week was 'leaked'.

2.They are really do now this time.No play play

JOHOR BARU, Thurs.09 Mar 2006 The "scenic bridge" on the Malaysian side of the Tebrau Strait is expected to be operational from April 1, 2009.Deputy Works Minister Datuk Mohd Zin Mohamad said the 470m structure would adhere to international standards which required a gradient not exceeding six per cent for safety reasons.

"The bridge will be built with a gradient of only 4.25 per cent, but high enough for navigational purposes.

"We have set aside a buffer zone which will be two metres before the international boundary. This means the bridge will join the Malaysian side of the Causeway just before the boundary."

pkchukiss SG

We should put up signboards on our side of the bridge:

"Wasting your vehicle fuel - Welcome to Malaysia's Crooked Bridge!"

It's their territory to build their crooked bridge without finalising things, so we should do the same. After all, "this is our land, and we should be able to do what we want with it," quoting Malaysian nationalists.

lionnoisy SG

I think both sides already agreed not to talk through medias and
not to disclose data prematurely.How come :

"In principle, there have been several agreements achieved. Now we need to go into the details and make the agreements final," Bernama quoted Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar as saying in Malaysia's Johor state bordering Singapore.

It is bad to have this kind of negotating opponent and other
countries will take note of MY behaviours.

maggot SG

Do we go to war if they started to dismantle the old causeway on their side thus cutting off the water we buy from them? Rolling Eyes

Since they have started to build the new bridge

casino_king SG

When Sg asked them to get out of Keppel and relocate their Train Station were they cheated?

Complicated lah....

NewAge SG

This thing is so sensitive. In WW2 the jap bomb bridge and railway as a excuse to war. Is the M trying to do the same. Destroy the bridge and cut our water supply.

maggot SG

Maybe they want to take back singapore and join back to malaysia as a state Laughing
