SINGAPORE – A new bridge will be built across Upper Bukit Timah Road by 2026, allowing both wildlife and pedestrians to cross between the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the Western Water Catchment Area via Bukit Batok Nature Park.
The new bridge was announced by National Development Minister Desmond Lee at the Festival of Biodiversity, held at community hub Heartbeat@Bedok on Saturday. Completed in 2013, the Eco-Link@BKE allows wildlife to cross between the two nature reserves, which were separated by the construction of the Bukit Timah Expressway in 1986.
Mr Lee stated that an islandwide exercise was completed last year to help better understand the ecological profile of green spaces here and their role in strengthening nature connectivity. In April, most of the work was completed for fencing along the Mandai Road exit of the BKE, where Sunda pangolins and wild boars have been sighted crossing the road to get to nearby forests.
Through partnership with Acres, Conservational International, Herpetological Society of Singapore, Jane Goodall Institute, Mandai Wildlife Group, National University of Singapore and Nature Society , five other such hot spots have been identified.
