Debated in Parliament on 5 Feb 2025.
Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Minister for Transport (a) what are the pre-requisites before construction can commence on an already-identified future slip road from the Tampines Expressway into the Rivervale Shores; (b) what is the intended start date of this project; and (c) whether this project can commence given the recent completion of the HDB estate in 2024.
Based on a Transport Impact Assessment study, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) had worked with the Housing and Development Board to carry out road improvement works, such as creating additional road lanes at Sengkang East Drive and Sengkang East Way, to support the expected increase in vehicular traffic as a result of the new Rivervale Shore Build-To-Order development. With these improvements implemented, traffic in the vicinity has been observed to be manageable.
The slip road in question is intended for implementation in the future when there are further new developments in the North-East Region. The date for implementation has not been finalised.
