Northbound lanes of Lornie Highway to open on 19 April.
The northbound lanes of the Lornie Highway – from Adam Road towards Thomson – will be accessible to motorists from 19 April, said the Land Transport Authority in a media release on Tuesday .The highway project was first announced in 2011. Then, it was known as Bukit Brown Road, and was originally scheduled to be completed by mid-2016, but ran into delays.
The dual four-lane highway will cater to traffic growth arising from redevelopment of the Bukit Brown area, as traffic is projected to increase by 20 to 30 per cent by 2020. It is also aimed at easing congestion along Lornie Road and the Pan Island Expressway , where there are regular traffic jams during peak hours.
The Sime Underpass will connect the southbound Lornie Road to Lornie Highway and Kheam Hock Road. With this direct connection, the temporary road connection from Sime Road and the signalised junction along the southbound Lornie Highway will be removed. A new bus stop will be built along a new access road to Sime Road estate with the opening of the northbound Lornie Highway. Five of the seven bus services – 52, 74, 93, 852, 855 – currently plying Lornie Road will shift to the Lornie Highway once the bus stop is ready. The LTA said that the changes to the bus routes are expected to be ready by the third quarter of 2019.
