Singapore Fireworks Celebrations 2007 on 17 & 18 August
-
Great jam along Orchard and Esplanade rd before and after the fireworks.. If you use iris, most of the bus would show (Next bus: Arr , Subsequence bus: Arr).. Cos all buses start along Esplanade.. (Best time to take pic..) People standing on the road waiting for bus instead of standing on the bus stop platform..Btw, most of are bus late up to 50mins. I knew that because the BC on Svc 502 driving SBS 3746M keeping calling the OCC. Asking whether he can flip the desto over and complain that he want to go the toilet at somerset.. In the end, aft the OCC pay him as OT pay then he sped along PIE at 70++km/h.. He still request the OCC people to prepare tea, bread and 2 eggs when he get back to SLBP!!
Some people were laughing... Look our for more 2moro night!! -
Funnylah the 502 BC. Ha! Well the ECP is terribly jammed packed as well along with Keppel Viaduct. Even 9 pm still stuck. Luckily took 30e. The Jam formed from 6 all the way till midnight. I myself was awed by the view. felt like going down to take some pics of the fireworks later tonight.

Well.. it's the preps that made the traffic slowing down. Can't blame on them. To side off a little, the Spanish fireworks was fantastic yesterday.Originally posted by tintinspartan:Funnylah the 502 BC. Ha!

Anyone has watched the fireworks yesterday?
-
Me. But the crowds thereOriginally posted by tanjun:Anyone has watched the fireworks yesterday?
.... also citylink was closed because too full and also buses all fully packed. -
Motorists along St. Andrew Rd stopped halfway to watch the fireworks causing massive jams at Padang. Nicoll Highway and Marina Centre areas all encountered traffic jams.
-
Same goes to bugis / lavender area. Massive Jams started in the afternoon and lasted all the way into the night. Took me 30mins from ICA Building to Bugis MRT.Originally posted by tanjun:Motorists along St. Andrew Rd stopped halfway to watch the fireworks causing massive jams at Padang.

ytd was from china?it was nice...
-
Dont understand why people go to esplanade, merlion park, marina centre, padang when there;s a big field at Marina Blvd you also get the full view of the fireworks?
I was there for the past 2 days.. the crowds are huge but at least there's still space to breathe.. -
how to get to the big field?
-
Seriously..Originally posted by Aaron8209:ytd was from china?it was nice...
I do not think that it was nice at all.. It was nowhere near to Spain. -
Just walk down Marina Blvd from Raffles Quay.Originally posted by patdog112:how to get to the big field? -
Its dead boring , seriously.Originally posted by sBs_boy:Seriously..

Oh btw , Telok Blangah and Keppel road had jams because of the construction there . And sadly , 2 lanes were closed when a small collapsed happened next to the construction . Big cracks present and there was a huge dip in the road . I went past it while on 57. -
Today's Straits times has a short article about this. Apparently,the dip was expected due to soil resettling after tunneling works and LTA wanted to divert the traffic flow,but the dip occured sooner than expected,resulting in this. And it seems that there is no need to be alarmed,for surrounding buildings are structurally sound.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Telok Blangah and Keppel road had jams because of the construction there .

Wonder what chaos will happen if Marina held the F1 races in future,More & More jams
Govt should reclaimed one of the Island to built an original Race track -
Was on the ECP that day. All the cars suddenly slowed down when the fireworks started!Originally posted by tanjun:Motorists along St. Andrew Rd stopped halfway to watch the fireworks causing massive jams at Padang. Nicoll Highway and Marina Centre areas all encountered traffic jams. So there was a traffic jam along the Benjamin Shears Bridge. But once we got past that bridge, traffic flowed smoothly again. -
That is why they are doing it on a weekend night. So that any kind of distruption would be kept to the minimum.Originally posted by carbikebus:Wonder what chaos will happen if Marina held the F1 races in future,More & More jamsGovt should reclaimed one of the Island to built an original Race track
