SINGAPORE : The new 1.3-kilometre road link to Marina Bay
opens on Sunday.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) says it will improve road access
to upcoming developments such as the Marina Bay Sands and the
Marina Bay Financial Centre.
The road will provide a direct link between Temasek Avenue and
Central Boulevard, as well as Marina Boulevard.
It is made up of a bridge across Marina Bay, and a newly
constructed Bayfront Avenue.
Eight public bus services will also be re-routed to ply
through this network.
The buses will commence from Jurong East (97??), Ang Mo Kio
(133??), Pioneer Road North (?) , Pasir Ris (?) and Bukit Batok
(106).
The road, which provides an alternative route to the Central
Business District, will have an ERP gantry along Bayfront Avenue
towards Temasek Avenue starting next Monday, April 26.
Overseas guests arriving at Changi Airport can make use of the
Marina Bay Sands Airport Shuttle Bus, which runs over 40 times a
day, to get to the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort.
There are 15 coaches in total and will run at 10-minute intervals
during peak periods.
Parking at the Integrated Resort starts at S$8 per hour and
carpooling is advised due to limited parking spaces.
Drivers can opt to park at the satellite car park at Marina South
and pay $10 for the parking and usage of the Marina Bay Sands
shuttle bus.
Commuters can also choose to go on foot via the pedestrian footpath
adjacent to the new bridge and Bayfront Avenue. - CNA
