Each metre of MCE costs $860k, ECP area to be developed, huat ah!
Spanning five kilometres, MCE has been described as a massive engineering feat.
Ms Teo said, “They (LTA engineers) had to do many things to strengthen and stabilise the soil before the tunnel was constructed. For instance, piles as long as 85 metres, or 25 storeys, had to be driven into the ground.”
Mr Lim Biow Chuan, MP for Mountbatten SMC, said, “But by-and-large, LTA’s engagement with the residents has been quite good, there’s been quite minimal complaints from residents about noise and dust.”
MCE will reportedly realise the “vision of a new downtown at Marina Bay”.
Popular blogger Uncle Chua commented on the $4.3 billion cost of the MCE project [Link].
Uncle Chua said, “Let me make this number simpler. It is $860 million for one kilometer of road. Or let me make it more down to earth, it is $860,000 for 1 metre of road. Does this make any sense to you? Can you appreciate what this means?”
“In other words, the cost to build one meter of the expressway is equivalent to one to three HDB 5 room flats. I think this is the bigger marvel than the 420m stretch under the sea. It must be great value… I like the marvel part. We should build more marvels.”
Has the usually profit-oriented PAP government suddenly changed its policies to embark on loss-making projects?
A remark by the authorities shows otherwise. The government reportedly said that with the MCE, part of the ECP that currently cuts through the city centre will be removed, which makes the area “a more attractive place to live, work and play”.
In other words, the government wants to develop Marina Bay land which has been freed up by the removal of the ECP that cuts through it. The land, of course, is prime property.

Re: ST: Avoid using MCE if heading east during evening peak
This is an "investment" - they will sell the ECP area for re-development.

Re: Each metre of MCE costs $860k, ECP area to be developed, huat ah!
now the fengshui master for mbs also step in for urgent meeting already.
he say the high vol of traffics on sheares bridge represent moving water on the river.
the moving water bring prosper QI to mbs. now in flying star fenghui, dead water bring stagnant qi which is a extreme omen.
he voted for sheares bridge to reopen.
i think the only major mistake made is closing down the Sheares Bridge on 29 dec and diverting all traffic to mce.if both were to run concurrently and closing down Sheares Bridge when all run fines..that josp yeo will be right--massive engineering feat
i check the ancient calendar, 29th 30th 31th are all unsuitable date for opening ceremony. 28th is fine

Uncle Chua, they have gantries points there to Everyday Rob People, at peak hours, they raise it to $10 & any given day...there is traffic flowing through, it is more than 1 million dollars per metre....

That price for average per metre.
If underground I think is twice the price but not whole MCE is under tunnel.

I'm not sure, even Nicoll Highway had collapsed in the absence of an earthquake.
World class and resilient Singapore infrastructure eh?
