Eastern Corridor
Eastern Corridor
The Eastern Corridor is an 18 km route comprising park connectors that have been progressively completed since it was first announced in 2021. Half of the route is located along waterways, including those enhanced under national water agency PUB’s Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) Programme, offering park visitors a scenic cycling experience along waterscapes in the east. This provides more opportunities for the community to explore our parks and nature areas. Multi-tiered landscaping along the Eastern Corridor helps enhance greenery and attract biodiversity. This will bring the community closer to greenery, enabling them to benefit from the positive effects of nature on their health and well-being. It will also connect communities and bring about a sense of space many times beyond our small island-city state. These efforts contribute to Singapore’s transformation into a City in Nature.
