The new Bayshore Flyover will serve existing and new developments in Bayshore, Upper East Coast and other areas in the east of Singapore by improving connectivity, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) told The Straits Times on Feb 24.

LTA said works are expected to begin in 2026, and will be completed in phases from 2029. The works are expected to be fully completed in 2030.

By the mid-2030s, Bayshore will house 10,000 new homes - 7,000 Housing Board flats and 3,000 private housing units. Among these are flats from two Build-To-Order projects, Bayshore Vista and Bayshore Palms, which were launched for sale in October 2024 and will be ready by the second quarter of 2029.

Based on tender documents published by LTA on government procurement website GeBiz on Feb 18, the works will also entail the construction of a dual four-lane road connecting Bayshore Avenue to the new flyover.

The ECP will be widened with the addition of a city-bound lane near Laguna Flyover.

Other road upgrades include new slip roads at two junctions in Bayshore Road, a pedestrian staircase linking the new Bayshore Flyover to East Coast Park, and cycling paths along the flyover and towards East Coast Park.
