SINGAPORE : Race organisers have made arrangements
to ensure minimal traffic disruptions during this year's Formula 1
SingTel Singapore Grand Prix.
The race will take place from September 21 to
23.
Road closures will be kept to a minimum of six
days.
Affected roads will be closed from September 19 to facilitate the
set up of race infrastructure.
When the race is completed, affected roads will reopen
progressively and all roads will be fully accessible by 5am,
September 25 onwards.
There will be improved accessibility to allow people to go about
their normal daily activities in the Marina Centre area while
enjoying all the excitement during the race weekend.
Motorists can continue to access the area through a single-lane
along Nicoll Highway and Raffles Boulevard to get to the car parks
of the various buildings there during the road closures between
certain hours.
Besides the single-lane, motorists can also enter the area via
Temasek Boulevard from the ECP slip road to Rochor Road throughout
the day.
This year, more roads will be opened in the morning peak hours
during the road closure.
More than 400 train trips will be added on the three race days to
meet increased demand, with train operating hours extended until
1am.
Operating hours for selected feeder bus services will also be
extended to match the last train service during the three race
days.
