Serious PAP To Open Underground Link From Cityhall MRT To Funan In Dec 2021! Majulah PAP!

[JohnTan]

CapitaLand announced that a "highly-anticipated" underground pedestrian link connecting Funan with nearby amenities will open this month (Dec. 2021).

The pedestrian link will provide sheltered passage to City Hall MRT station, said CapitaLand in an announcement on its website today (Dec. 20).

The 100-metre pedestrian link will connect Basement 2 of Funan Mall to City Hall MRT station, said CapitaLand.

Previously, media reports from 2017 said that the pedestrian link could potentially link to The Adelphi, Peninsula Plaza, and St. Andrew's Cathedral.

The new pedestrian link connects Funan to the existing underground pedestrian link at City Hall MRT, a CapitaLand representative confirmed to Mothership. Thus, access to nearby buildings, such as Raffles City, St Andrew's Cathedral, and Capitol Singapore will be through their existing entrances/exits.

The underpass was reportedly expected to be completed in 2020.

Funan went through a three-year renovation and reopened in 2019 as a mixed-use development touting features such as an indoor cycling track.

Pedestrian link to showcase local artwork
The pedestrian link will also have "a dual function" as a platform to showcase works by the local art community, according to CapitaLand Investment CEO of Retail and Workspace for Singapore and Malaysia, Chris Chong.

Artworks by by fashion photographer Shavonne Wong and tech artist Eugene Soh will be among works to be showcased in Funan's pedestrian link as part of next year's Singapore Art Week, which will take place from Jan. 14 to Feb. 13, 2022.

Have there been many retail casualties inside Funan? Some of the restaurants on the outer perimeter of the mall are kaput.

This is great news!

If oppies were in power, we won't even have rain shelters, let alone aircon tunnels connecting our train stations to shopping malls. I remember back then, oppies were vehemently against any Home Improvement Program by the PAP, citing reasons that infrastructure upgrades and expansion would only lead to increase in housing prices and rentals.

Was that the reason why the Funan-Peninsula Plaza road junction has been dug up for so long?

Initially I though they were expanding the road width or laying cables, but the duration seemed a bit too long for that.

Most still going strong. There's a restaurant inside Funan Mall (which shall remain nameless for now) that serves terrible food, which has somehow survived for a couple of years now. I am watching it closely.

Without the PAP in charge, we should definitely worry.

Thank goodness for PAP, if not for them we will be like these filthy animals in India.

Their nasty petty methods outweighs gentlemanly actions. The more we think about it, the more my kakis and I want to fuck the PAP again.

This link or tunnel is built with PAP's own money?
Losses by Temasek can build how many such tunnels, not to mention hospitals ,schools ect2

cant be helped, pap crony contractors need projects to survive.....

Indeed. Running out of places to build sheltered walkways, and digging/refilling of roads can only generate that much GDP. Life is hard as a crony.

And it's impractical to wait for opportunities to repair infrastructure.

These are their jobs or duties.
They are elected to work for the people.

They should dig more to close the loop and complete the circle.

City Hall MRT - Citylink Mall - Esplanade/Suntec - MBS - Marina Bay Link Mall - Raffles Place MRT - Funan - City Hall MRT.

Colored parts are segments that might be more challenging for the engineers.

If done properly people can walk/run/cycle along the basement corridors and get to another location without getting to the street level.
