High priority engineering works at Scrivener Dam will commence in the new year. One of the projects to be deferred to fund the cost of the works at Scrivener Dam is the upgrade of Bowen Place crossing.

The Bowen Place crossing upgrade is now scheduled to commence in 2014. If existing funding allows, the National Capital Authority will continue working on the Bowen Place crossing design, and seek the necessary approvals from Parliament so construction can commence as soon as possible.
