Secretary for Transport and Public Works Raimundo do Rosário promised yesterday that the government will ensure that its ongoing project to build the Light Rail Transit (LRT) section between Taipa and Barra at the southern tip of the peninsula will not affect the structure of Sai Van Bridge.
The Taipa-Barra LRT section will run through the lower enclosed deck of the bridge, which currently has a vehicular lane in each direction for cars and emergency vehicles when typhoon signals No. 8, 9 or 10 are hoisted.
The policy secretary also reiterated yesterday that the Transport Infrastructure Office (GIT) has issued a statement over the weekend elaborating on the matter of the perceived safety concern of the Taipa-Barra LRT section project – raised recently by the bridge’s principal designer.
