SINGAPORE : The demolition process of Singapore's National Stadium is now in full swing.
After the grass was removed recently, it is now the turn of the wooden benches.
The move will pave the way for the construction of a new Sports Hub by April 2014.
Benches that are still in good condition will be recycled for use at the new facility.
Other items that will be salvaged include the commemorative plagues and museum pieces.
The stadium's turf, removed last month, will be re-planted at other Singapore Sports Council fields.
The construction cost of the new Sports Hub is estimated at S$1.33 billion. Some features include a new 55,000-seat stadium and a 6,000-capacity indoor Aquatic Centre.
