The Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) will be Singapore's 10th expressway and is five-kilometre long.

The Land Transport Authority says the MCE, when it is ready, will be the main route for motorists travelling between the ECP or the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) in the east, and the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) in the west.

The AYE spans 26.5 kilometres and runs from the western end of the ECP to Tuas in the west. It also connects to Malaysia via the Tuas Second Link.

By then, parts of the existing ECP within the city will be downgraded to an arterial road to serve the new Downtown in Marina.

To make sure traffic into the CBD remains in check given the changes, gantries on the ECP towards Changi will be adjusted.

The locations of some ERP (Electronic Road Pricing) gantries in the Central Business District (CBD) and on the East Coast Parkway (ECP) will be adjusted when the MCE opens at the end of this year.

The ERP rates and the operation hours however, will remain unchanged.
