Heavy downpour causes flooding, road chaos

SINGAPORE: The heavy downpour Friday morning is causing chaos on the roads.

MediaCorp received several calls about floods.

Upper Thomson Road near the junction of Sin Ming Road is reported to be flooded.

Another area is Jalan Boon Lay in the direction of Corporation Road.

The downpour accompanied by gusty winds also caused branches to break off trees.

One such incident near Orchard Central along Orchard Road blocked two lanes of traffic.

The Meteorological Services Division had issued a heavy rain warning.

It said flash floods which could occur in low-lying areas.

That is not due to construction problems that the tunnel cannot have dual usage.

Once the tunnel is flooded, all the motorway will be filled with water, when they reopen the tunnel for use again, they would have to clear all the rubbish and inspect all the electricals.

I think the PAP government should make better use of the flood, instead of making a butterfly trail, they should improvised and make Singapore into another Venice, more Singaporeans can learn to sing and row gondolas.

Singapore the next Venice of Asia.

Clivebenss SG

Bigi SG

Singapore the next Venice of Asia.

Good idea, more eco friendly but I think should use sampans instead of gondolas

mh2 SG
