Hmmm... there seems to be some road repaving works going on at
the junction of Sembawang Way and Admiralty Drive/Sembawang
Crescent. While it may be just routine road repair work, a few
years ago major road repaving works were carried out in Sembawang,
and someone from the Resident's Commitee told me that it was to
strengthen the road surface in anticipation of more bus routes (and
hence buses) before the opening of Sembawang Bus Interchange.
With recent speculation that route 117 might be a
Hougang-Sembawang route, this recent road repaving activity might
be in preparation of a new bus route running along Sembawang Way,
and could very likely be route 117 (although it might be another
unannounced bus route or amendment), or it might be just routine
road repair works.
I'm not trying to draw conclusions too fast or speculate too
much, but the possibility is there. Keep the options open,
people.
