INFRASTRUCTURE firm OKP Holdings has won a second contract from the Land Transport Authority (LTA), this time to widen another part of the Central Expressway (CTE).
The $119.3 million contract involves widening a section of the CTE - from the Pan Island Expressway to the Braddell Interchange.
This new deal follows the awarding of a $16.9 million contract to the company last year to widen a 1.5 km stretch of the CTE between Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 and Avenue 3.
'This is OKP's largest public sector project that we have achieved in our 43 years of operations, and we are truly honoured to have secured this prestigious project from the LTA,' said OKP group managing director Or Toh Wat.
'It is testament to the quality and high standards of our work and the higher level of achievement and excellence attained by OKP through the years, and also speaks of LTA's confidence in us.'
Work on the latest expressway project has already begun and is expected to be completed by the end of 2011.
OKP said the CTE widening and improvement project is arguably the most extensive upgrading programme that the LTA has undertaken since the CTE opened 17 years ago.
The homegrown company also does civil construction work for other public sector organisations such as the Public Utilities Board, the JTC Corporation, the Housing & Development Board and the National Parks Board.
Last month, it landed a $15.4 million contract from the PUB for drainage works.
It also won a similar contract worth $20.8 million from the LTA for work on an extensive network of drains in the Tanglin Halt area.
