To facilitate the construction of Downtown Line Stage 1, the current ERP gantry on Central Boulevard will be relocated about 180 metres further up the road. The relocation is necessary to facilitate construction works from Landmark Station to Cross Street Station.
The columns for the new gantry will be installed on Thursday, 12 June 08 and the gantry installation will be completed on Thursday, 19 June 2008.
During the gantry installation on 19 June, the affected stretch of Central Boulevard between the access road from Maxwell Road / East Coast Parkway (eastbound) to Shenton Way / Cross Street will be closed to traffic from 0001hrs to 0500hrs.
During the temporary road closure, motorists will be diverted to Rochor Road via the ECP (eastbound). Alternatively, motorists can make a detour to Prince Edward Road via Marina Station Road. The road will be re-opened after 0500hrs.
The switch over of the ERP gantry operation will be carried out on Monday, 28 July 2008. The new gantry will be in operation until Central Boulevard is re-aligned at the end of 2012. The current gantry will be dismantled by Sunday, 17 August 2008.
Existing ERP rates and operating hours apply. Informational signboards will be displayed at the slip road of ECP and at Central Boulevard to inform motorists of the relocation of the ERP gantry.
