My Waterway@Punggol - ensuring<br />
connectivity and accessibility<br />
Location plan for the vehicular bridges.<br />
In the concluding portion <strong>of</strong> the three-part<br />
description <strong>of</strong> the project, ‘The <strong>Singapore</strong><br />
Engineer’ looks at the creation <strong>of</strong> the four<br />
vehicular bridges and five footbridges across<br />
the waterway.<br />
Developed by the Housing & Development<br />
Board (HDB), My Waterway@Punggol<br />
meanders from east to west across Punggol<br />
Town, dividing the town into two halves,<br />
whilst connecting the Punggol and Serangoon<br />
reservoirs.<br />
PUNGGOL WALK ICONIC BRIDGE<br />
Of the four vehicular bridges, the Punggol Walk Vehicular Bridge<br />
is the most ‘iconic’. Designed with an extended footbridge from<br />
one side <strong>of</strong> the dual vehicular carriageway and suspended from<br />
an aesthetic arch, it provides a vantage view <strong>of</strong> the Heartwave<br />
Wall, a major feature <strong>of</strong> the development. The other three<br />
vehicular bridges, which are strategically located along the<br />
waterway, are designed as functional, pre-stressed, pre-cast<br />
beam structures.<br />
