The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has announced new roads in Marina South will open from Sept. 28, 5am.
The roads will provide a more direct connection from the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) to various parts of the city centre, including Marina Bay and Tanjong Pagar.
Motorists travelling from Tanjong Pagar (Anson Road, Maxwell Road and Shenton Way) can make use of a new direct connection from Maxwell Road to get onto the MCE towards KPE and ECP, while the existing slip road from MCE Exit 1 will be realigned to Maxwell Road. A stretch of slip road between Maxwell Road and Central Boulevard will also be expunged.
For motorists travelling from MCE Exits 2 and 3 towards Shenton Way and Bayfront Avenue, they can expect a smoother connection with the straightening of Central Boulevard. As part of the road changes, Bayfront Avenue will be extended to the Marina Bay MRT station to provide better connectivity.
These changes will affect bus services 106, 133, 400 and 402. Bus stop no. 03531 along Central Boulevard towards MCE will be removed, forcing the services to reroute. In the opposite direction, two bus stops — no. 03539 and 03319 — will be removed, affecting bus services 97, 106, 133, 400, 402, 502 and 513. Visit the LTA website for the full deets.
