The Fort Canning Tunnel (FCT) will be opened
to traffic on Tuesday, 16 January 2007 at 6.00am. |
|
Relocation Of Bus Stops |
|
In conjunction with its opening, the bus
stop along Stamford Road (near Singapore History Museum) will be shifted
to the realigned Stamford Road (near Singapore Management University),
while the bus stop along Penang Road in front of Park Mall will be
shifted to the opposite side of the road (see attached map). |
|
New Traffic Scheme In The Vicinity |
|
The FCT allows traffic coming from Stamford
Road, just after its intersection with Armenian Street, to connect
directly to Penang Road. |
|
The section of Stamford Road between
Armenian Street and Fort Canning Road will be realigned to run between
two SMU buildings (School of Accountancy and Li Ka Shing Library). |
|
Motorists travelling along Stamford Road,
heading towards Selegie Road, Serangoon Road and Fort Canning Road, will
have to keep right along Stamford Road, and turn right into the
realigned Stamford Road. |
|
Operation Of ERP Gantry |
|
To maintain the Orchard Zone ERP cordon, an
ERP gantry has been installed at the end of the FCT tunnel so that
motorists using this route as a direct access from the CBD into the
Orchard ERP Zone, bypassing the gantry currently at the entrance to the
Orchard ERP Zone, will continue to be charged for entering the Orchard
ERP cordon, as before, and at the same rates. |
|
Motorists are advised to insert their
cash cards in advance and drive carefully by following the
directional signs on display. |
