Kallang Park Connector from Bishan to City, Singapore

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) plans to study whether the

10km-long Kallang Park Connector, which starts in Bishan and runs along
the Kallang River, can become a seamless commuting route for cyclists. If
implemented, it could take a cyclist about 30 to 45 minutes to ride from
Bishan to the heart of the city. The planning study for the proposed
pedestrian and cycling crossing along the Kallang Park Connector from
Bishan to City includes seven crossings at Braddell Road, Central
Expressway (CTE), Pan-Island Expressway (PIE), Serangoon Road &
Bendemeer Road, Kallang Bahru, Upper Boon Keng Road, Sims Avenue
and Geylang Road.

The crossing across PIE is above grade and consists of a cable-stayed

steel bridge of approx. 160 m long with max span of approx. 60m. The
bridge, which is of 4.5m clear width, meets the tracks beyond PIE at ground
level on each side via a steel circular ramp above Kallang River.
