On the URA space website, can measure the distance between the Bahar Junction, Jurong West Street 64 platform, and the Bahar Junction, Jurong West Avenue 4 platforms. The walking distance is around 210 metres, comparable to the transfer distance between the EWL and JRL at Boon Lay station.
Walking 210 metres can burn around 17.5kcal.
Consider it to be a chance to do exercise to keep fit bah. 😊
Just did a running along Jurong West Street 64 and 75 just now. From the looks of it, the two roads will not be realigned, other than the MRT Gek Poh station section. Other than that, it would be like the MRT Gul Circle station and connecting viaducts for most parts of Jurong West Street 64 and 75. Something that is new in Singapore, but common in New Taipei, Taiwan, where the density is high, and viaducts actually go over the road at many parts of the city.
Apparently the contractor kena debar by World Bank? What for?
