Part of Upper Changi Road East closed following 'road surface depression'
SINGAPORE: All three lanes of Upper Changi Road East, in the direction towards Bedok, were closed following a "road surface depression" that appeared on Wednesday morning (Jun 15).
According to the Land Transport Authority (LTA), the road surface depression appeared at about 9.15am on Wednesday, where advance works for the Thomson-East Coast MRT line were being carried out.
The police also sent out a tweet at about 2pm, asking motorists to use alternative routes.
"To ensure the safety of motorists, all three lanes were closed to traffic and motorists were diverted to Simei Avenue," LTA said, adding that road resurfacing works are in progress.
The affected lanes are expected to be reopened later on Wednesday evening, an LTA spokesperson said. As of 8.15pm, one lane has been reopened, according to LTA.
