Selected ERP rates to go up by 50%, new gantry at PIE
>Motorists will have to pay more to use the Eastbound ECP (Marina South) and the slip road from Ophir Road.
From November 3, ERP (Electronic Road Pricing) rates for two gantries will be increased by 50 per cent to $1.50, announced the Land Transport Authority (LTA) today.
Currently, ERP rates for both gantries stand at $1.00. The rates for the other gantries will remain unchanged.
ERP will also be implemented along the PIE (Westbound) before Eunos Link with effect from Nov 3.
From 7.00am to 7.30am, motorists will have to pay $2.00. From 7.30am to 8.00am, they will only have to pay $1.00.
According to LTA, traffic speeds along the stretch have fallen below the threshold levels.
LTA reviews the traffic conditions on the expressways and roads every quarterly and for the June and December school holidays.
Following each review, ERP rates will be adjusted where necessary to achieve optimal traffic flow.
