THE green light has been given by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) for the alignment of the North-South Expressway (NSE) between Admiralty Road West and Toa Payoh Rise.
The new expressway - with construction expected to start from 2013 and finish by 2020 - will run parallel to the Central Expressway (CTE) to serve the north-south corridor, as announced by the LTA on Wednesday.
When completed, NSE will be Singapore's 11th expressway. Now, the CTE - the only expressway serving the north-south corridor - experiences heavy traffic in the northern and central part of Singapore during peak hours. Even with the CTE widening project being completed by end 2011, traffic along this north-south corridor is expected to continue growing.
