Walk on water at MacRitchie Reservoir's new submerged broadwalk
Visitors to MacRitchie Reservoir will soon be able to walk on water - at a new submerged boardwalk.
National water agency, PUB, says the 40-metre long submerged boardwalk extends from one bank of the reservoir to another.
Visitors will be able to walk through shallow waters to see water plants growing alongside the boardwalk and be in close contact with tadpoles, fish, snails and other aquatic life.
Water plants will be introduced as they help to purify rainwater before it flows into the reservoir.
Visitors can also look forward to a new F&B outlet at the hilltop.
Several improvements will be made to the bandstand, internal roads and footpaths.
A new building will also be constructed at the current Paddle Lodge to cater for the public and schools for their canoe and kayaking activities.
They're part of phase two improvement works at the reservoir park, costing some 4.5 million dollars.
Work is expected to be completed by the third quarter of next year.
The project is part of PUB's long-term initiative known as the Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) programme.
