Mightymito 1st Gear March 20, 2012 Share March 20, 2012 For those not in construction... During construction the whole stretch beneath the bridge will need to be bulldozed clear and flat so that the piling rig, concrete trucks, lorries and other vehicles can access during construction. They cannot pile and form the piers from the air. Nature would have to reclaim the land beneath the bridge after completion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedbs Turbocharged March 20, 2012 Share March 20, 2012 Lornie Road/Sime Road leading to Khiam Hock Road, opp SICC ... Sounded like near my house. I think you meant the cementary near to that Lornie road overhead bridge where mata like to take photos. Didn't know it is called Bukit Brown. But I heard there is a Bukit Brown MRT. Why do they want to build a MRT at a grave site? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scion Turbocharged March 20, 2012 Share March 20, 2012 From what I understand all the graves were overgrown and never visited. Suddenly people realised that they had ancestors and wanted to visit their graves. We Singaporeans are dam funny sometimes. on the contrary, i think it's due to the increasing insecure sense of belonging by us Singaporeans in recent years, due to the massive influx of foreigners more people are aware and concern of the diluting Singaporean identity in fact, bukit brown is not the first cemetery to be appealed for conversation... teochew cemetery kwang hou sua at woodlands road was appealed against exhumation.. but largely ignored by the authority... and the awareness and voice of the people concerned was far softer compared to now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kklim Supercharged March 20, 2012 Share March 20, 2012 But I heard there is a Bukit Brown MRT. Why do they want to build a MRT at a grave site? Bt Brown Station has already been built in Jalan Mashhor (near the Thomson nurseries and Mediacorp). It's just a shell, ready for commissioning when Mediacorp and maybe the nurseries move out and the whole area (all the way to the cemetery boundary) is ready for development. It was originally called Thomson Station. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powersteer Clutched March 20, 2012 Share March 20, 2012 i struggle to understand the need for the road expansion at Bt Brown. As it is now, the road is heavily congested in peak hrs .. only because of bottlenecks. Morning = Alexandra road - Queensway Junction, CTE to Braddell (please remove the bloody bus stop there!), Bartley - Serangoon Ave 1 traffic junction, Bartley - Upper Paya Lebar exit. Evening = the TOTALLY c--k traffic light junction for Sime Road, upper Thomson stretch between Marymount Lane and Sin Ming Ave, Braddell exit into CTE (some widening needed), Bartley - Serangoon Ave 1 traffic junction Instead of solving these bottlenecks, they set upon huge project elsewhere which is not the main cause. I struggle to be convinced that these ppl actually did their proper homeworks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
