News Releases 03 Feb 2023 Tampines Viaduct

Motorists reminded of transport infrastructure works in Changi region; measures  in place to mitigate impact from affected roads

                Motorists will have an additional and direct route for travelling from Tampines Expressway (Pan Island Expressway) i.e. TPE(PIE) to PIE(Tuas) and Upper Changi Road East with the opening of the Tampines Viaduct on Sunday, 19 February 2023[1].

2               The 1.8km long, one-way viaduct will have a new Exit 2A along TPE(PIE) after the existing Exit 2[2] that will help to redistribute the traffic heading to PIE(Tuas) and Upper Changi Road East. Motorists will have an additional option to bypass the stretch of TPE(PIE) between Loyang Flyover & Upper Changi Flyover and the existing signalised junction at Upper Changi Road North/East. Motorists from Tampines, Pasir Ris and Loyang can continue to use the existing Exit 1[3] to Upper Changi Road East and PIE(Tuas). Motorists can also continue to use the existing at-grade road networks to Upper Changi Road North, Upper Changi Road East, PIE(Tuas) and PIE(Changi).

Reminder of Works in Pasir Ris and Changi

3               As announced previously in LTA’s news release - Road Closures and Bus Route Changes in Pasir Ris and Changi (25 Oct 2022), major transport infrastructure[4] works to support plans to develop the Changi region are ongoing. Upcoming road changes include the closure of Loyang Avenue (between Pasir Ris Drive 3 and Loyang Way) from 26 February 2023 and the closure of Pasir Ris Drive 1 (between Pasir Ris Drive 8 and Pasir Ris Central) from 3Q2023.

4               Ahead of the road changes, LTA has been engaging local residents and working closely with various agencies and industrial stakeholders on the road network changes and alternative routes. Adjustments have also been being made where possible to mitigate the impact. For example, LTA has widened some alternative routes, and put in place real-time traffic monitoring measures to allow for mitigation of traffic congestion and to facilitate incident management. Motorists will also be informed of upcoming road closures through media platforms such as radio messages and newspaper advertisements. Informational and directional traffic signs will also be provided on site and traffic marshals will be deployed to guide road users through the various phases of road network changes.

5        Motorists are advised to plan their routes in advance and to expect delays.  They can stay updated on the route changes through One Motoring and LTA’s social media channels (Facebook, Twitter and Telegram). We seek the patience and understanding that these changes are necessary for the major infrastructure projects to be implemented safely.
