Thurs traffic is okay.


But how come no one updates this thread anymore ?

MRT will be coming to this busy part soon.


It will be built underground & the station will be at HCI.

This is good news for future students but will be hell for existing students. Dare not imagine how bad the jam will be when it is under construction …

So far so good. Even though we are stuck at Eng Neo my dd still make it in time. Her school starts at 7.20am. She arrives at 7.17am. Cool right. No wonder my heart has been pumping so hard.

Not sure, rumours is that construction will start in 2010.

In your opinion, will the constrcution affects only HCI side or NJC/RGPS/NYGH side as well ?

you can go LTA website to download the station plan.. so far does not indicate there will be exit at NJC / NYGH /RGPS Watten side

therefore must climb the overhead bridge

the ground condition there is super soft

construction method is dig and cover, no tunneling, will be messy, esp for the residents. soil test investigation is almost complete

Time: this morning at ~ 7.50 am

Location: Just after Namly Ave exit into Bukit Timah Rd
Vehicles involved: grey van xxx5454x and another car

The van turned from Namly Ave and tried to cut into the right most lane (Lane 1) to make a U turn into Bukit Timah Rd towards NGHS/NJC. There was already a long queue in Lane 1. Another car also turned from Namly Ave and queued up behind the van.
In doing what they did, they blocked Lane 2 and the traffic in that Lane going forward, causing traffic to choke up behind them.
There are 3 lanes on this side of the road.
At this section, many cars use Lane 3 (left most lane) to drop off their charges;
Lane 1 is for cars making U turns to the other side of the road; and
Lane 2 is effectively the only lane left for fast moving traffic.

If two of you are reading this, please be considerate, kindly refrain from repeating what you did this morning so as to help to keep traffic flow smoothly.
There is another U turn ~ 400 m from where u were that u can use to avoid blocking lane 2.

This happens in the evening as well, and last year, they managed to have an accident because those shooting out from Namly could not brake in time and hit those waiting for U-turn into Dunearn from Bukit Timah, at the same spot u mentioned above

Hwa Chong is Bukit Timah Road, NYGH / NJC side is Dunearn Road
