AECOM will provide multidisciplinary services covering mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, fire engineering, geotechnical, environmental and transportation-planning to accommodate the project\u2019s complex technical challenges. \u00a0The 13.4-mile expressway will run parallel to the country\u2019s Central Expressway, connecting towns along the north-south corridor, such as Woodlands, Sembawang, Yishun, Ang Mo Kio, Bishan and Toa Payoh, with the city center.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted to play a key role in the North-South Expressway project,\u201d said AECOM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John M. Dionisio. \u00a0\u201cBy participating in this important project, AECOM will be able to utilize our integrated capabilities to contribute to the continued advancement of Singapore\u2019s infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n
The proposed expressway is expected to relieve the traffic load on the heavily utilized Central Expressway, as well as nearby major arterial roads. \u00a0According to the Land Transport Authority of Singapore, it is anticipated that the expressway will save commuters from the northern towns up to 30 percent of their current commuting times during peak hours.<\/p>\n
