Mini Vacation Part 4- Eco-link BKE

Eco-link —BKE
We might have missed this if it weren’t for our taxi driver. Singapore recently completed a $17million elevated wildlife bridge. It is 62 meters long and 50 meters wide. The bridge connects Singapore’s largest primary and secondary forests, the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the Central Catchment Area. Both had been separated by the Bukit Timah Expressway since 1986. There is a dense hedge system, storm drains and railings to hopefully keep wildlife off the expressway. The bridge is planted to be a forested corridor between the two areas. Hope it works. People will be kept out of there for a while to allow wildlife free use of the bridge.
