1. The new vehicular interchange between the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) and Bedok North Avenue 3 will be opened to traffic on 29 November 2008 from 4pm onwards.

2. Works for the latest road interchange with the PIE began in June 2006 and involved the construction of four slip roads to connect Bedok North Avenue 3 to the PIE. This also involved works to widen Bedok North Avenue 3 from two lanes to three lanes in both directions.

3. As part of the improvement works, LTA has also constructed two new pedestrian overhead bridges across Bedok North Avenue 3, provided ramps to the existing pedestrian overhead bridge across the PIE and upgraded five bus shelters along Bedok North Avenue 3 and Bedok Reservoir Road. The entire upgrading project was completed at a cost of $20.5 million.

4. Please refer to Annex A for the location map and scope of works.

5. With the opening of this vehicular interchange, motorists, especially residents in the Bedok North Estate, will be able to enjoy a direct and faster connection between Bedok North Avenue 3 and the PIE. The new interchange will also serve as an alternative to the two existing interchanges with the PIE at Bedok North and Simei.
