New ERP gantry at Eunos Link; two gantries up charges
SINGAPORE: It will cost motorists more to pass through the
Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries at Marina South and on the slip
road from Ophir Road during evening peak hours from next month.
The charges will go up by 50 cents to S$1.50 between 6.30pm and 7.30pm from November 3.
This follows a quarterly review by Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA).
LTA said it will also implement ERP at a new gantry before Eunos Link for westbound traffic between 7am and 8am.
LTA said this is because traffic speeds have fallen below the threshold.
Motorists will be charged S$2 between 7am and 7.30am, and S$1 between 7.30am and 8am.
