SINGAPORE – A covered linkway will be built near Tiong Bahru Market by the end of 2023 to improve access to Havelock MRT station and encourage more people to use the Thomson-East Coast Line .
In Tiong Bahru, kerbside parking spaces have been removed to widen pedestrian walkways and provide barrier-free access ramps. Eng Hoon Street was partially pedestrianised and outfitted with benches for people to rest and gather.

Retiree Tan Lay Leng, 56, said the widened footpaths and pedestrianised Eng Hoon Street allow pedestrians to walk around the neighbourhood without worrying about car traffic. On the flip side, others, including stall owners at Tiong Bahru Market, cited reduced parking spaces and greater traffic congestion as negative consequences of the new features.
