SEVERAL road closures in the Marina Centre area will take place from Wednesday to Sept 28, to facilitate the hosting of this weekend's Formula 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix.
The closures will be implemented in phases to minimise the inconvenience to the public as organisers set up and dismantle race infrastructure. Traffic delays are expected during this period, and visitors to the Marina Centre area are encouraged to use public transport.
Nicoll Highway,Esplanade Drive,Republic Boulevard, Bayfront Avenue, and Temasek Avenue - between Raffles Boulevard and Raffles Avenue - will be open for one-way through traffic toward the city during the morning peak hours (5 am to 9.30 am) from Wednesday till Friday.
On Saturday, only Nicoll Highway and Esplanade Drive will be open for one-way through traffic into the city from 5 am to 9.30am. Several ERP gantries will not be in operation during this period as they might interfere with sensitive video transmission equipment used for the race.
The gantries along New Bridge Road, South Bridge Road, ECP (eastbound) from Ophir Road, Temasek Boulevard and Republic Boulevard will be affected. Vehicles going under these gantries will not be charged during certain peak times on Thursday and Friday. The gantries along Temasek Boulevard and Republic Boulevard will also not be functional from 12.30pm to 8pm on Saturday.
Members of the public can go to LTA's website at www.lta.gov.sg or call 6738 6738 for more details. Maps of the affected areas can also be viewed at www.straitstimes.com. SOURCE
