Access to Queen's Road from Bukit Timah Road has
been closed after an underground water pipe running under the
junction of the two roads burst early Sunday morning.
The Public Utilities Board was alerted to the burst pipe at
about 5.30am on Sunday morning, and started reparis to the pipe at
6.45am. Two of the three lanes on Bukit Timah Road between Duke's
Road and Queen's Road have also been closed in order for the pipe
and the road surface to be fixed.
Four SMRT bus services - 67, 171, 852, & 961C - were
diverted on Sunday morning, with the transport operator taking to
Twitter to inform passengers of the diversion. But normal service
has since resumed.
To access Queen's Road, motorists can use either King's Road or
Duke's Road. A PUB spokesman said that repairs are expected to be
completed by 7pm on Sunday evening.
