1. To facilitate the construction of the road tunnel as part of the Woodsville Interchange upgrading, the current Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantry at Bendemeer Road will be temporarily relocated about 100 metres further down the road until end 2011, when upgrading works for the Woodsville Interchange are expected to be completed. Thereafter, the relocated ERP gantry at Bendemeer Road will be shifted back to its current location.

2. The installation of the new gantry will start from Monday, 24 November 2008 onwards and is expected to be completed in December 2008. When the new gantry is being installed, motorists will see two separate ERP gantries along Bendemeer Road. However, the new gantry will not be operational until the existing gantry is decommissioned.

3. The switch over of the ERP gantry operation will be carried out in early February 2009, when the construction of the road tunnel along Bendemeer Road will require the removal of the existing gantry along Bendemeer Road.

4. After the switch over, the re-located ERP gantry will operate for the entire period while construction works for the Woodsville Interchange upgrading project are ongoing.

5. During this period, motorists joining Bendemeer Road from the slip road off PIE (Tuas) will pass through two ERP gantries – the existing ERP gantry along the slip road off PIE (Tuas) and the re-located ERP gantry along Bendemeer Road. However, the existing ERP gantry along the slip road off PIE (Tuas) will not be operational during this period. Hence, motorists will only be charged as they pass the relocated ERP gantry along Bendemeer Road.

6. Please refer to the attached map for more details on the location of the gantries.

7. The relocated ERP gantry will have the same ERP P rates and operating hours as the current Bendemeer Road ERP gantry. Information signboards will be displayed at key approaches leading to the Bendemeer Road gantry to inform motorists of the relocation of the gantry.

8. The upgrading works for the Woodsville Interchange are expected to be completed in end 2011. The relocated ERP gantry at Bendemeer Road will then be shifted back to its current location. The ERP gantry along the slip road off PIE (Tuas) will also revert back to normal operation, and like today will have the same ERP rates as the gantry along PIE (Tuas) near Kallang Bahru.

About the Woodsville Interchange Upgrading Project

9. The Woodsville Interchange is located at the intersection of Serangoon Road, Upper Serangoon Road, MacPherson Road and Bendemeer Road. Serangoon Road and Upper Serangoon Road are two major arterial roads linking the city with the Serangoon corridor and the northeast sector.

10. Upon expected completion of the project in end 2011, the Woodsville Interchange comprising three road tunnels and a flyover, will seamlessly connect the four key arterial roads connecting the northeast sector to the city.
