SINGAPORE - Visitors to the zoo may have noticed an"overhead bridge" being built along Mandai Lake Road, but the Mandai Wildlife Bridge is not be used by humans.

Spanning the width of Mandai Lake Road, the 140m-long bridge is the latest in a slew of measures that MPH has put in place to reduce the incidence of roadkill while works for a nature precinct of five wildlife parks are under way in the vicinity. The area also sits immediately outside the ecologically rich Central Catchment Nature Reserve, forming a lush landscape of wildlife.

These buffer areas are in turn connected to the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, which spans both sides of Mandai Lake Road. Hoardings have also been installed along both sides of Mandai Lake Road to prevent animals from getting to the road, said Dr Lee.
