LTA will spend $26 million to raise Orchard road to prevent future floodings. The 1.4 km road, stretching from Orchard tower to the junction of Scotts/Orchard road. The roadworks will be completed by the middle of next year.

didn't MM Lee say no amount of engineering will make SG flood free? If thats the case, why spent 26 million?

So is LTA saying MM Lee is wrong? who is right?

Cross your fingers... the water must still go somewhere since the drains are not widened..

for sure. the water has to go somewhere.

my neighbor did the same trick. end up my side flooded when the water comes in too fast.

i think what they are hoping to achieve is to spread the amount of water to more drainage system located around the area instead of relying on the few critical junctions that was highlighted before.

The floods hit other areas other than Orchard area, so what about the rest of Spore :confused:

PAP spent billions to create the problem & now they are proposing to spend only millions to fix the problem :eek: Somehow I don't believe that there's a cheap solution.

This is the PAP we're talking about :rolleyes:

Because of MM's statement, LTA will solve the flooding problem through landscaping techniques and not engineering.

meanwhile, any recourse to those shops affected by the flood ..
or perhaps free road tax for those car owners whose cars were affected
