Jackson Centre in MacPherson to close due to road
improvement works
In one more week, Jackson Centre at MacPherson, which has been in
operation for 15 years, will be part of history. All food stalls in
the centre will officially close at 7 am on September 24, after
which the land will be returned to the government for road
improvement works.

The land improvement works actually involve a pair of underpasses
linking Upp Serangoon Rd to Bendemeer Road on one direction, and
Serangoon Rd to Upp S'goon Rd on the other end, with the NEL tunnel
running between them and a DTSS tunnel right underneath all of it.
That explains why the NEL tunnel out of Potong Pasir runs at weird
angles, making a detour around the proposed underpass site.
