2024年4月3日，交通部長兼財政部第二部長徐芳達，回答盛港區議員蔡慶威有關升級人行天橋與安裝電梯的相關課題。
以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：
蔡慶威（盛港集選區議員）問交通部長:
（a）對盛港東路人行天橋（POB 60020）安裝電梯的現場可行性研究是否表明安裝這樣的電梯在技術上是可行的？
（b）需要哪些政府機構批准此類安裝？此類批准的截止日期是什麼時候？
（c）電梯建設的招標和完成的預估時間表是什麼？
徐芳達：根據現階段陸路交通管理局（LTA）的電梯改造計劃，陸路交通管理局將優先考慮在惠及更多年長者的地點升級人行天橋並安裝電梯，包括盛港東路的這個人行天橋。
升級一個人行天橋並安裝電梯需要長達22個月的時間。交通管理局需要徵得新加坡建設局、國家環境局、國家公園局、公用事業局和城市重建局的批准，然後才能開始工程。
以下是英文質詢內容：
Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Minister for Transport (a) whether site feasibility studies conducted on the installation of lifts at the Pedestrian Overhead Bridge (POB 60020) along Sengkang East Drive suggest that it is technically feasible to install such lifts; (b) which other Government agencies are required to approve such an installation and what are the deadlines given for such approvals; and (c) what is the estimated timeline for the tender and completion of the construction of the lifts.
Mr Chee Hong Tat: Under the current phase of the Land Transport Authority’s (LTA’s) lift retrofitting programme, LTA will be prioritising the retrofitting of Pedestrian Overhead Bridges (POBs) with lifts at locations that will benefit a larger number of seniors, including this POB at Sengkang East Drive.
It takes up to 22 months to retrofit a POB to include lifts. LTA will need to seek approvals from agencies, such as the Building and Construction Authority, the National Environment Agency, The National Parks Board, the Public Utilities Board and the Urban Redevelopment Authority, before commencing works.
