Contract ER442 includes the construction of sheltered linkways within a 200-metre radius of 38 Light Rail Transit stations such as Teck Whye and Punggol Point.
Contract ER443 includes expanding the coverage of the sheltered linkway network to a 400-metre radius from its present 200- metre radius at 29 MRT stations including those in central areas such as Raffles Place and Orchard.
It also covers sheltered linkways within a 200-metre radius of a bus interchange.
Under the Walk2Ride programme, LTA will expand the coverage of the sheltered walkway network by ensuring sheltered connectivity between transport nodes and schools, health care facilities, residential developments and public amenities within a 400m radius of all MRT stations and within a 200m radius of all LRT stations and bus interchanges.
