SINGAPORE – From Sept 8, motorists who use the cross junction intersecting Thomson Road, Moulmein Road and Newton Road will be greeted with two T-junctions, instead of the current single multi-way junction.
Some of the other traffic changes include turning Goldhill Plaza road into a one-way road where vehicles can enter only from Thomson Road. At present, it is a two-way road where vehicles can enter and exit from both Thomson Road and Khiang Guan Avenue.

Taxi driver James Quak, 48, who drives past the junction at least twice daily on average, said this area near Novena Square is often clogged, and the road has “ever-changing twists and turns” that are tricky to navigate.
