Waterloo Street in Singapore will undergo enhancement works to improve pedestrian access and support the vibrancy of the Bras Basah.Bugis precinct, with completion expected by 2027.
Waterloo Street Enhancement Project Details
The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has launched a tender to appoint a contractor for the project. The works will include wider, tree-lined sidewalks and sheltered pedestrian connections.
Existing roadside parking will be removed along Waterloo Street between Middle Road and Bras Basah Road to allow for wider sidewalks. Improved landscaping and additional trees will also be added to create a more pedestrian-friendly environment, according to URA.
A new footpath will be constructed along Waterloo Link. A covered linkway will also be built across Waterloo Street, providing connectivity between Waterloo Street, Bencoolen Street, and Queen Street, as well as access to Bencoolen and Bras Basah MRT stations.
The wider sidewalks will provide public spaces for outdoor events and community activities. Water supply and electrical points will be installed along Waterloo Street to support these events, based on suggestions from arts groups during URA’s project engagements.
