KUALA LUMPUR: A covered pedestrian bridge linking the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) Gombak station directly to the Gombak LRT station is expected to be completed by March next year.

Malaysia Rail Link Sdn Bhd (MRL), in a statement today, said public transport integration and pedestrian access at the ECRL Gombak Integrated Terminal (TBG) station had been considered from the early planning stages.

The covered bridge will connect the ECRL and LRT stations, with a further pedestrian link to TBG.

While awaiting completion of the permanent bridge, MRL will provide a temporary walkway through Prasarana Malaysia Bhd's facilities to allow passengers to move between the stations when ECRL services begin in December.
