SINGAPORE - From 5am on May 28, Singapore’s only right-turn expressway exit, located on the Pan-Island Expressway , will be replaced by a new left exit.
Signs will be put up two weeks before the opening of the new exit to inform motorists of the upcoming change. Traffic marshals will also be deployed during peak hours on the first few days after opening. The authorities previously said that the removal of the right-turn PIE exit was prompted by a regular review of the road network here, as well as feedback from road users.
LTA cited engineering challenges and a manpower crunch brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic as reasons for the delays. About 1,000 cubic metres of hard rock had to be removed, hence the works were extended by a few months, LTA added. Controlled rock blasting, which involved drilling holes into the rock before using explosives to fracture it, was carried out in stages to remove the granite.
Asked if this had any impact on the cost of the project, LTA said the cost remains at about $33 million.
