Linking Gardens by the Bay to Changi Point

GETTING from Changi Point to the Gardens by the Bay will literally be a walk in the park come 2014.

This will be possible once construction on a park connector linking East Coast Park and the Gardens, scheduled to start next year, is completed, said the National Parks Board (NParks) on Wednesday.

Responding to media queries, NParks director (Parks) Chia Seng Jiang confirmed that the agency is studying plans to form an uninterrupted stretch of parkland around Singapore's south-eastern shoreline.

"Construction is expected to start by end-2013, and be completed by end-2014," said Mr Chia.
