3 To 4 Months To Build A Short Linkway In Tampines

I'm wondering why it takes 3 to 4 months to build such a short linkway from Tampines Blk.384 Street 32 to the Bus-Stop outside Ngee Ann Secondary School. It started last month in March 2008 and the expected completion date is Jun 2008. Though the project title didn't specify that it's a sheltered linkway to be built, but I suspect so. Even if it's a sheltered linkway, it's also rather too long a period (1/4 to 1/3 of a year). I remember the erection of ERP gantry at Fort Rd seems to be faster!







If the project drag for too long, there may be a danger of mosquitoes breeding. Also it cause inconvenience to the residents there. Imagine just not too long, the re-roofing job, the painting of MSCP, then then barrier free linkway, and now... In fact there was a linkway already from Blk.384 to bus-stop but without shelter.

So why does it take so long to build a short linkway? Even if including the power cable for lights installation...
