LTA eyes widening of Clementi Road by 2017

Road will be upgraded to dual-four lanes.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will be widening Clementi Road between Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and Bukit Timah Road to improve overall traffic flow along the road corridor.

Clementi Road is a major arterial road that serves as a key connection between Clementi Town, Pan Island Expressway (PIE) and AYE. It serves various major educational institutions such as Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore Institute of Management (SIM), Singapore Polytechnic, NUS High School and Nan Hua High School.

Clementi Road is also a main access road for residential estates in Sunset Way and Ulu Pandan.

The widening of Clementi Road from dual-three lanes to dual-four lanes in both directions will increase the road capacity to cater to traffic demand from future developments in National University of Singapore (NUS), Clementi Town and along Clementi Road.

The widening will also facilitate the movement of buses plying along this road. Major traffic junctions along Clementi Road will also be enhanced to reduce waiting times.

As part of the project, LTA will widen a stretch of Commonwealth Avenue West (westbound) between Clementi Road and Clementi Avenue 6. When completed, motorists can expect a smoother traffic flow along Clementi Road and the surrounding road network. Please refer to Annex A for the location plan.

LTA will call a tender for the project shortly. Construction works are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2014 and be completed by the first quarter of 2017. LTA will work closely with the appointed contractor to minimise any inconveniences to residents and occupants living or working in close proximity to the works.

Land Acquisition

To facilitate the works, the Government will need to acquire a part of private land under the Land Acquisition Act. Two narrow sections of a grass verge of the NUS University Town will be acquired for this project. The main building structures of the University Town will not be affected. The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) has gazetted the land affected by the acquisition today.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
