Long-delayed
Braddell Flyover to open on June 11
SINGAPORE - After more than four years and two delays, a new
flyover connecting motorists from Lorong 6 Toa Payoh directly to
the Braddell Underpass will open on June 11 at 6am.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said Monday (May 22)that as
part of the project, a stretch of Braddell Road between Toa Payoh
North Flyover and the Central Expressway (CTE) has also been
widened from dual three-lanes to dual five-lanes.
The new flyover will allow motorists travelling from Lorong 6
Toa Payoh to connect directly to Upper Serangoon Road and Bartley
Road via the Braddell Underpass, without having to join traffic
bound for the CTE or Bishan Street 11 on Braddell Road.
Motorists heading towards the CTE or Bishan Street 11 should
continue using the old Toa Payoh North flyover, the LTA said.
This segregation of traffic travelling towards different
destinations will help smoothen traffic along Braddell Road.
To complete the traffic improvement scheme, the LTA is also
building centre dividers along various stretches of Braddell Road.
The authority said these can only be completed by end-June.
