3 companies win $1.2b contracts for Tuas Road Viaduct extension; works to begin in early 2027
It will extend the existing Tuas Road viaduct at both its western and eastern ends.
Three construction firms have been awarded contracts totaling $1.2 billion to extend the Tuas Road Viaduct in Singapore, according to the Land Transport Authority (LTA). The works, to commence in early 2027 and conclude by 2032, will encompass new road viaducts, drainage improvements, and supporting infrastructure. The extension aims to facilitate future developments in Tuas South and enhance connections to Tuas Port and the city center.
Contractor Hwa Seng Builder will construct the section of the viaduct along Pioneer Road, while China Communications Construction Company will work on the Tuas South Avenue 3 segment, and China Harbour (Singapore) Engineering Company will build the Tuas South Boulevard portion. All three firms have a proven history of delivering major infrastructure projects in Singapore, including the construction of the Jurong Region Line and several stations.
The new elevated road corridor will bypass 18 surface-level intersections, improving traffic flow and reducing travel times for motorists. During construction, traffic realignments and lane closures will occur along Tuas South Avenue 3, Tuas South Boulevard, and Pioneer Road, with traffic management measures and alternative facilities put in place to minimize inconvenience.
