The space beneath the Queensway viaduct in Singapore will be developed into a community node, featuring a heritage gallery and a garden commemorating the area's plantation history. The node, slated for completion in 2027, is one of several planned along the Rail Corridor, a former railway line transformed into a public green space.
Each community node along the corridor is a space for the public to gather and participate in activities.Beneath the intersection of Queensway and Portsdown Avenue is a mound of earth and some uninviting slopes, but the area underneath this busy viaduct will soon become a gathering space for the community.
Speaking at the launch of an exhibition on the Rail Corridor at The URA Centre, Ms Indranee also said a community node will be developed around 2035 at Stagmont Ring, near to Yew Tee and an upcoming MRT station on the Downtown Line that was announced on Jan 6. A fifth is slated to open in 2025 at the former Bukit Timah Fire Station, after LHN Facilities Management won a tender to operate the state property in April 2024.
Based on the design, the section of the Rail Corridor that runs underneath the viaduct will be lined with heritage exhibits, projections, artefacts and photographs that trace the transformation of The URA is also seeking public feedback on the Stagmont Ring node, which will be developed around 2035 in tandem with the upcoming MRT station, and a future node at the former Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, to be developed after ongoing restoration works on the station are completed in 2028.
