North South Expressway gets the go-ahead
Dylan Loh
Govt to acquire land; owners have 2 years to move once land acquired
SINGAPORE - By 2020, motorists travelling between the city area and housing estates in the north will have another faster option: The Government yesterday gave the nod to the new North South Expressway (NSE), which will provide a high-speed road link from residential estates such as Woodlands, Sembawang and Ang Mo Kio to the city centre.
The NSE will ease the growing traffic along the north-south corridor currently served by only the Central Expressway (CTE).
But, the greater convenience for motorists will mean disruption to several property owners.
In a massive acquisition exercise, the Government will have to acquire some 40 lots and over 30 partial lots of land for the construction of the NSE.
This means that houses along Marymount Terrace, as well as several properties on the Marymount Convent site including the Orange Valley Nursing Home, the Good Shepherd Chapel and Rose Villa, will have to relocate.
However, Marymount Kindergarten and Marymount Convent School will remain where they are.
Work on the new expressway, which runs parallel to the CTE and will also connect to existing expressways such as the Seletar Expressway, is expected to begin in 2013 - and that is the deadline for the properties to move.
Responding to media queries, the Singapore Land Authority and Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a joint statement: \"All owners whose properties are affected by the acquisition will be given two years from the date of acquisition to vacate the premises.\"
Residents at Marymount Terrace who spoke to MediaCorp said they have received the acquisition notices and have little option but to move.
One of them, Ms Joseph Esther, said she will be looking for a new home.
Another resident, who declined to be named, said he was getting his property evaluated before entering into discussions with the authorities on compensation.
The congestion on the CTE, especially during peak hours, has been a perennial complaint among motorists.
According to LTA, even with the completion of the CTE-widening project by the end of this year, traffic along the north-south corridor is expected to continue to grow. It added that the NSE will help ease traffic on major arterial roads, such as Thomson Road and Marymount Road.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority said the sites at Marymount Terrace and Marymount Convent will be considered for residential development after the completion of the new expressway. -

Ladies, I really can't keep up with this thread! Too fast moving! Are most mummies here stay at home mums? I usually read this thread on my iPhone (while at work if I have time) so a little tough to reply to everything (screen too small, alphabets too tiny!), so pls pardon me if I don't reply, but I do read and enjoying it!
3 days of absence, 10 pages of HW????
Wonder how preciousmoments cope???? :? :? :? Yur DD miss sch for how long again???
My DD missed 5 full days of school, I lost track of the number of pages of HW she had to catch up on, but she was whining away while doing the HW!
Ironically, when she was finally back to school, her FT went on 3 day mc from a stomach ache. Poor teacher! -

These days, everyone is falling sick pretty easily! Take care!! My gal has been down with phlegmy cough since last week until now. Today is the 2nd visit to the doc. Hopefully she gets well soon too.

I second that!! This bus driver is really quite nice and patient! I called him almost everyday last week when DD was on mc. And on Monday, I first called him to tell him DD will not be taking the bus to school, half an hour later, called him again to tell him that DD will be taking. He did not get impatient with me at all!
Wow, the auntie v uncaring leh.
My DD says she nv puts on the jacket during the bus ride cos the driver turn down the aircon during rainy days so that it's not so cold. So far IM really please wif the driver. Those who r considering sch bus and along the route of Serangoon North, Hougang, Sengkang & Punggol will b please.
He's patient with the girls too, when the girls dropped too much biscuits / cookies in his bus day after day, he simply told them to eat bread and not biscuits on the bus, he did not ban them from eating! Nice!
