LTA to Improve Traffic Flow with the Widening of Four
More Stretches of CTE
1. The Land Transport
Authority will be calling for tenders to widen another four
stretches of the Central Expressway to improve traffic flow, an
initiative under the Land Transport Master Plan.
2. Four separate tenders will
be called to seek contractors to widen the stretch of the CTE
between:
3. Together with the existing
widening works between Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 and Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3,
the completion of the four additional stretches will mean an
uninterrupted four lane traffic scheme along CTE when completed in
end 2011.
4. The tenders will be called
shortly and works are expected to start by February
2009.
One Pair of Flyovers
to be Constructed between PIE and Braddell Road
5. LTA will be constructing a
pair of flyovers between Braddell Road and the PIE as part of the
widening project to improve traffic conditions along that stretch
of the CTE.
6. The pair of flyovers will
serve as dedicated service roads for traffic connecting between the
PIE and CTE. One of the flyovers will serve traffic coming from the
PIE (Changi bound) and will connect to the CTE (SLE) directly,
bypassing the stretch of the CTE between PIE and Braddell Road.
Similarly, the other flyover serves as a dedicated service road for
traffic coming from the CTE (City bound) and will connect directly
to PIE (Changi bound) and Upper Serangoon Road without contributing
to the traffic along the stretch between PIE and Braddell
Road.
7. "Together with the other
infrastructure developments that we have committed over the next 15
years under the Land Transport Master Plan, the completion of the
CTE widening project in end 2011 will better meet the increasing
travel demands of the developing North-East Corridor," said Chief
Executive, LTA, Mr Yam Ah Mee.
