Description
Description | In July 1989, United Engineers (Malaysia) Berhad (UEM) submitted a proposal to the government of Malaysia for the construction of a second road link to Singapore. On 27 July 1993, the government and UEM signed a 30-year BOT contract for the construction of a 2-km bridge, 44km of expressway, and customs and toll facilities. The Second Crossing Expressway connects the bridge to the North-South Expressway, and the Perling Expressway connects to the metropolitan area of Johor Bahru. Cooperation of the Singapore government was obtained on 22 March 1994, and each country is responsible for construction and operation of its side of the bridge according to a common design. In May 1994, UEM handed its contract to a wholly-owned subsidiary, Linkedua (Malaysia) Berhad. Construction started in January 1995, and the bridge opened for operation in early 1998. Construction cost US$ 111 million. The lead underwriter for debt financing was Schroder Wagg. |
