Expected Improvements to Travel Times, Traffic Resilience and Connectivity with Completion of Loyang Viaduct

Mr Sharael Taha asked the Acting Minister for Transport how the Loyang Viaduct is expected to improve travel times, traffic resilience and connectivity for commuters and businesses travelling between Pasir Ris, Changi and the Airport Cargo Complex.

The Loyang Viaduct is an integral part of the ongoing infrastructural developments along Changi Northern Corridor to support the industrial, business and aviation growth in the Loyang, Pasir Ris and Changi regions.

It will serve as an alternative road corridor and decant some traffic from the existing roads. It will also add resilience to the road network in those regions. Motorists and bus commuters travelling from Tampines Expressway and Loyang Avenue junction to Nicoll Drive during the morning peak hour can expect travel time to be reduced from approximately 22 minutes to 16 minutes on average, saving about 30% in travel time.
