ABOUT thirty lamp posts now at the old Seletar airbase will be preserved for use after the area is transformed into a modern aerospace hub.
The lamp posts, which possibly date back to the British era, will be taken down progressively as the bulldozers roll in and put away for re-installation later, said Mr Edwin Ho, an assistant director in JTC Corporation, the industrial parks development group.
It is all part of preserving the charm and heritage of the former airbase, he told The Straits Times.
Giving an update on the plans for the 300 ha Seletar Aerospace Park, he said major road works for the area are slated to start next year.
They include the building of a new flyover to link Tampines Expressway to the new park and a major road with four lanes in each direction.
