The space could link Little India, Kampong Glam, Waterloo Street and nearby schools.
SINGAPORE – An iconic public space at the intersection of Rochor Canal Road, Sungei Road and Jalan Besar could be constructed to connect three cultural districts – Little India, Kampong Glam and Waterloo Street – and educational institutions nearby.
A stretch of Ophir Road next to Kampong Glam could also be pedestrianised to become a site for events and activities that celebrate heritage and culture, and connect Kampong Glam to Bugis, added LTA.

Road spaces along Marymount Road near Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park will be turned into active mobility uses and greenery to enhance commuting experience along the park. PHOTO: HENNING LARSEN Stretching from Admiralty to Rochor, the NSC includes an 8.8km expressway viaduct in the north and 12.3km of underground road tunnels in the south. It is set to be completed from 2027 onwards, and is expected to cut travel time by up to 30 minutes from Woodlands, Sembawang, Yishun and Ang Mo Kio to the city, and ease traffic snarls on the Central Expressway.
The blueprint, added LTA, will take other considerations into account, such as broader development plans and transport connectivity for the surrounding areas.
