Jp66 5th Gear February 28, 2012 Share February 28, 2012 This is one of the place 7 days a week you can see people parking their cars along the dam, TCSS and enjoy the nice scenery. Soon it will be gone ...... http://www.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/Story...227-330429.html Two new road projects to improve connectivity in S'pore's north The Government will start on two new road projects to improve overall road connectivity and capacity in the north to support upcoming and future developments, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Monday. It will expand the existing interchange that connects Central Expressway (CTE), Tampines Expressway (TPE) and Seletar Expressway (SLE). At a cost of $75 million, the expansion will improve connectivity between Yishun, the new Seletar Aerospace Park (SAP) and the expressway network. As part of the project, four new vehicular flyovers will be constructed and five new road connections will be created. With the flyovers, motorists travelling on Seletar West Link will be able to access both the CTE and Yio Chu Kang Road, and vice versa. Those on the westbound TPE will also be able to access Seletar West Link. SECOND PROJECT The LTA will also construct a new road link between TPE and Yishun Avenue 6. As part of this new road link, a new dual two-lane road from Yishun Ave 1 to Yishun Ave 6 will be built. A stretch of Yishun Ave 1 will also be re-marked from the current dual one-lane road to a dual two-lane road. The existing Seletar West Link will be widened from a dual one-lane road to a dual three-lane road as well. When completed, motorists can look forward to better connectivity and faster travelling time between the three connecting expressways, Yishun Town and SAP. For example, motorists travelling from Yishun Town to CTE can expect a time savings of up to 10 mins. The completion of the new road link will also improve traffic conditions along Lentor Avenue and Yishun Avenue 2. Tenders for the new road link between TPE and Yishun Avenue 6 will be called shortly. Construction is expected to start in the third quarter of 2012. According to a my paper report, road-diversion works will be carried out during off-peak hours. Both projects are targeted for completion by 2015.[attachment=64924:Yishun_Dam.jpg] ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic February 28, 2012 Share February 28, 2012 I can't wait honestly. Will make it easier for me in future to go between work places. Currently the one lane road and some absolutely ridiculous traffic light timings in that area nearer to seletar aerospace park make it dam irritating to use that route which is the shortest route.

Curahee 1st Gear February 28, 2012 Share February 28, 2012 Spore is like that one la, either they tear down and redevelop, if not they will upgrade. i have many gd childhood memories of many old hawker centers, old marina area & kallang oasis, last time my parent will bring me and my bro there during weekend. Now all r gone, give way for developments. In spore, things come and go very fast unlike in malaysia... 15 yrs ago u see this same old building, 15 yrs later u go back the same old building still there. The only regret is last time no digi cam or phone camera, cannot suka suka go around snap pic of those places to keep as memories. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
