[ST] Marina expressway to be ready by end 2013
The Marina Coastal Expressway
(MCE) can replace the ECP as the main route for motorists
travelling across various expressways.
Finishing touches are being
applied on the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE), which is on track
to open by the end of this year.
All structural works have been
completed on the 5km, $4.3 billion highway, including a 420m
undersea tunnel.
The bulk of electrical and
mechanical systems has been installed and contractors have begun
testing and commissioning those systems, a process that will take
about five months.
This update on Singapore's
10th expressway was given by Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew after
he visited the MCE control centre yesterday. It will be a key link
connecting expressways in the east and west, he said.
