Yesterday, I went to the newest expressway in Singapore, the KPE (Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway). It's a underground tunnel connecting from the ECP (East Coast Parkway), crossing under Pelton Canal, Paya Lebar Road, Airport Road, emerging at ground level at Defu Lane, and joining TPE (Tampines Expressway) at Lorong Halus. This major project was planned way before I was born, in the 1960s, and cost S$1.8 billion! The design is nice, safety precautions are also well taken care of, and the ventilation system is ultra cool!

Just look at this video on how we've all enjoyed ourselves when all 3 of the Saccardo nozzled were switched on:

Guess what is the speed of air through that air-sock-like thing? Believe it or not, it's 30metres/sec!

Well, I think LTA(Land Transport Authority) had done a remarkable job in conservation for the environment, by land preservation, preserved field truck, minimized surface disruption, and reducing noise and dust pollution.

Check out the emergency cabinet! It has everything you need during an emergency!

Coming out of the escape staircase... so we were under this place all this while!

Gosh, we were captured by the surveilance camera in the tunnel! (twist to the camera... michelle!)

That's the Saccardo nozzle. Only 1 at full blast.

And if you're interested, you can join LTA for the Family Day cum Walk-a-Jog at KPE on Sunday, 21 October, 7.30am to 2pm. You'll get to run on the tracks before the vehicles do!!!
