Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE), Singapore

Marina Coastal Expressway, Singapore

Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) is an expressway on the southern part of Singapore. It connects the Keppel Viaduct in the west with the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway, at the interchange with the East Coast Parkway, in the east. Construction began in 2008. When it was completed at the end of 2013, it became the shortest expressway in the country, with a length of just 5 km (3 mi). However, it is also the most expensive expressway in Singapore, as the total cost is estimated at S$4.1 billion, much more than the S$1.74 billion spent on the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway.

The Marina Coastal Expressway is a dual carriageway expressway. It has ten lanes, with five in each direction. 3.5 km (2.2 mi) of the expressway is underground. This includes a 420-meter stretch under the Straits of Singapore, just 150 m from the Marina Barrage, a particular challenge to engineers due to the high volume and water pressure expected whenever the barrage discharges.

The expressway provides an artery connecting the eastern and western part of Singapore to the New Downtown area being developed south of the present Central Business District. Places accessed include the Marina South Pier and the proposed Marina Cruise Centre.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
