The Land Transport Authority has awarded the contract to Samwoh Corporation Pte Ltd.

The contract, worth $57.5 million, involves the upgrading of the junction of West Coast Highway and Clementi Road where a dual three-lane flyover will be constructed.

With the new flyover, motorists on West Coast Highway will be able to bypass the traffic light junction as they head towards Jurong Town Hall Road or the city.

The contract also includes the construction of two sheltered pedestrian overhead bridges along West Coast Highway near Waseda Shibuya Senior High School and Singapore Bible Baptist Church. The pedestrian overhead bridges serve to help residents cross West Coast Highway to West Coast Park safely.

Works have commenced since first quarter of 2009 and are scheduled to be completed by the third quarter of 2011.
