SINGAPORE: Two flyovers will be built between Bukit
Batok East Avenue 3 and Clementi Avenue 6 to improve traffic flow
along a stretch of the Pan-Island Expressway
(PIE).
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Monday
that they will be completed in the first quarter of
2016.
The flyovers will provide access for motorists
exiting PIE (east-bound) to Clementi Avenue 6 and entering PIE
(west-bound) from Clementi Avenue 6.
Similarly, motorists entering the PIE (east-bound) from Bukit Batok
East Avenue 3 and exiting PIE (west-bound) to Bukit Batok East
Avenue 3 can use the connecting slip roads.
LTA said with this new arrangement, motorists will not have to
"criss-cross" traffic at the slip roads during peak hours.
LTA will also widen Bukit Batok East Avenue 3, between Bukit Batok
Street 23 and PIE, from two lanes to three lanes in both directions
to improve traffic flow.
Work on the project, awarded at S$35.76 million to Hwa Seng
Builder, will begin in November 2012.
