PUB to raise road levels in Orchard
Works on the stretch, leading from Orchard Parade hotel to Mandarin hotel, will begin in November.
Road levels will be raised an average of 30 centimetres.
Other measures implemented include the tie-in of levels with existing interfaces such as re-tiling of pedestrian malls at crossings and raising existing bus shelters.
National water agency PUB said the improvement works will cost about $26 million.
The project is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2011.
Orchard Road saw one of the worst floods in Singapore's history in June where roads and buildings were submerged in water due to multiple bursts of intense rainfall. - CNA/fa
