蔡庆威（盛港集选区议员）问交通部长:

（a）对盛港东路人行天桥（POB 60020）安装电梯的现场可行性研究是否表明安装这样的电梯在技术上是可行的？

（b）需要哪些政府机构批准此类安装？此类批准的截止日期是什么时候？

（c）电梯建设的招标和完成的预估时间表是什么？

徐芳达：根据现阶段陆路交通管理局（LTA）的电梯改造计划，陆路交通管理局将优先考虑在惠及更多年长者的地点升级人行天桥并安装电梯，包括盛港东路的这个人行天桥。

升级一个人行天桥并安装电梯需要长达22个月的时间。交通管理局需要征得新加坡建设局、国家环境局、国家公园局、公用事业局和城市重建局的批准，然后才能开始工程。

以下是英文质询内容：
