The 2016 FORMULA 1 SINGAPORE AIRLINES
SINGAPORE
GRAND PRIX returns to Singapore from 16 to 18 September
2016.
Race organisers have made arrangements to ensure
minimal traffic disruptions and improve accessibility to allow
members of the public to carry on their normal daily activities in the Marina Centre area
while enjoying the race excitement.
Similar to the past years, road
closures will take place over only six days, a reduction
from twelve days at the first 2008 race.
Affected roads will be closed from 12.01am, 14 September (Wednesday) to facilitate the
set-up of race infrastructure. Affected roads will reopen
progressively when the race is completed with all roads fully
accessible by 5.30am, 20 September (Tuesday).
To facilitate better traffic access, race organisers
have made arrangements to re-open roads early after the race. Taxis
will be allowed entry to the Marina Centre area at all times,
except during F1 race times. Race goers can also have the
convenience of using the MRT with the extension of operating hours
of public transport services.
To facilitate morning and evening peaks, the following
road corridors will be opened at selected hours during
the road closure period:
Members of the public are encouraged to use the public transport
during the road closure period. For those who wish to drive, they
can access the developments and shopping centres in the Marina
Centre area through a single-lane road from Nicoll Highway and
Temasek Boulevard at the following times (except for buses and
vehicles with W, X, Y plates):
Taxis will also be able to use the single-lane access
at all times, except during the hours when the race is ongoing on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday.
Besides the single-lane road, motorists can also enter
Marina Centre area via Temasek Boulevard from Rochor Road (after
exiting ECP) throughout the day.
To ensure smooth traffic flow, traffic wardens will be
deployed on site to direct traffic and assist the public. Road
information and directional signs will also be put up in the vicinity to direct motorists.
Car parks at Suntec City, Millenia Singapore and Marina
Square remain open to public subject to availability.

During the race days (16 – 18 September), operating
hours of MRT
train services will be extended to cope with the
higher demand. The operating hours for selected feeder bus services
will also be extended to match the last train services.
Free shuttle buses are also available between Lavender
MRT station and Gate 1 of the race venue.
Ticket holders are encouraged to make use of public
transport during race days to get to the race venue as most gates
are within walking distance to an MRT station. Taxis are
also available as an additional option.
