Recently I have noticed that there are road works in Bedok to narrow a few roads. Examples are 2 streteches of Bedok North St 3 (one near Bedok North Ave 2 and the other one near Bedok North Ave 1). They are being converted from 2 lanes to 1 lanes. also, for the part of Bedok North Ave 1 (near Bedok North Rd), road dividers are constructed and hence making the roads narrower.
