SINGAPORE — The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will construct a new slip road that will allow motorists to drive directly to Kranji Expressway (KJE) (Westbound) from Senja Road, it said today (June 27).

Currently, residents coming from Senja Road have to travel to Senja Way and turn into Woodlands Road before joining the KJE. With the new road, motorists can drive directly to KJE (Westbound) from Senja Road, and save up to five minutes of travelling time as a result, LTA said.

The new slip road aims to improve traffic conditions at the junctions of Senja Way and Senja Road, as well as Woodlands Road and Senja Way. The slip road will also link motorists from Senja Road to Woodlands Road, which will in turn give them better access to the Woodlands, Marsiling and Upper Bukit Timah areas, according to LTA.

LTA will call a tender for the project in the first quarter of 2016, and works are expected to commence in the third quarter of that year. The slip road is scheduled for completion in 2017, it said.

In addition to the new road link, LTA is looking at the feasibility of constructing a full vehicular interchange that will link Senja Road to both bounds of the KJE, to provide greater accessibility for current and future residential estates within Bukit Panjang, the agency said. CHANNEL NEWSASIA
