Yes, you are correct. BRE Phase 2 is also a viaduct, with a pair
of at-grade roads, which in my opinion, is useless.
As for the extended deadline, they were given quite a few
extensions, from 3rd Qtr 2003 to June 2005, for Contract 3223,
PPSE.
That is why I said in my earlier post, that the project, Contract
3370, is unlikely to complete by Mar 2006, which is the current
completion date for the project. Most probably, by looking at the
progress to date, it may be completed by 2008.
As for this, I have no idea. My theory is that the interchange
between CCL and ERL at MacPherson will be like Dhoby Ghuat like
that, the whole station is linked up, but the tunnels are not. That
means that ERL trains need a seperate route into KCD.
For your information, KCD is designed to handle the trains from
both CCL and ERL. The design is such that CCL will use the Western
side of the Depot (Upper Paya Lebar side), while ERL will use the
eastern side of the Depot (Hougang Ave 3 side).
