The purpose of this on-site transit is to minimise the displacement of businesses during the construction phase in other sectors while assisting the diverse mix of businesses in adapting to the traditional street shopping environment taking shape in the project.
In addition, the Trust had constructed the Mufaddal Shopping Arcade (MSA), a temporary commercial transit facility to accommodate shops that were part of the redevelopment project. Located close to the existing Bhendi Bazaar marketplace, MSA provided greater visibility for the shops and offered an array of amenities to facilitate business continuity and growth. The shops have since shifted back to their new premises as part of the redevelopment, and the temporary facility is no longer in operation.

Wide entrances to facilitate pedestrian movement
