Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Wednesday awarded a S$634.8 million contract to Samsung C&T Corporation for the construction of the Marina East section of the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE).
This is the fifth contract awarded out of six major civil contracts called for the construction of the MCE.
The latest contract entails the design, construction and completion of approximately 800 m of twin-cell box vehicular tunnel structure and slip tunnel connection stubs for future entrance/exit ramps, LTA said in a news release.
Works under this contract, dubbed Contract 486, also include the construction of a ventilation building, trunk link sewers with associated manholes and land reclamation works at Marina East area.
On Nov 3, 2008, Samsung C&T Corporation was appointed the civil contractor for Contract 483 (Marina South II). Samsung C&T Corporation is currently also involved in the design and construction of the Cross Street Station as part of Downtown Line Stage 1.
LTA said construction works for the MCE are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2009 and slated for completion by 2013.
The MCE will be the tenth expressway in Singapore, a major part of the strategic island-wide road network to support the long-term growth of Singapore.
