NorthSouth MRT is running just beneath and along the Orchard Road and likely go deeper near Dhoby Ghaut to avoid the CTE.
NorthEast Line is likely be another 10 to 20m deeper than NS line near Dhoby Ghaut.
Circle Line is another 10-20m deeper than North East Line when it intersects NS line and NE line at dhoby Ghaut .
Unless there is some amazing civil engineering technology available, digging an underground road in orchard road with a viable gradient of ascent and descent is either impossible or exorbitantly expensive. And slip roads out of the underground road to various parts of orchard road is totally out of question.
A sky bridge is possible though to interconnect the two sides of Orchard Road. However, it is likely to be a rather ugly structure and if there is any major road accidents involving burning, the sky bridge will become a danger to the occupants and shoppers.
