Progress of Lift Installation for Four Pedestrian Overhead Bridges along Hougang Avenue 3

Ms Sylvia Lim asked the Minister for Transport (a) which precisely are the four pedestrian overhead bridges along Hougang Avenue 3 that the Ministry had in 2023 indicated will be given priority for the installation of passenger lifts; and (b) whether there is an update on the time frame for the installation works.

The pedestrian overhead bridges along Hougang Avenue 3 near Blocks 101, 172, 241 and 248 have been prioritised for lift retrofitting under the current phase of the Land Transport Authority's lift retrofitting programme, which focuses on locations that will benefit a larger number of seniors. Construction works for this phase of lift retrofitting works are scheduled to take place progressively from the fourth quarter of 2025.
