A series of road closures affecting the Marina Centre area
will take place from 23 September 2009 to 29 September 2009 to facilitate the
setting up and dismantling of the race infrastructure. 2 The road closures will be
implemented in phases to minimise disruption to the public. To ensure business
continuity for establishments in the Marina Centre area, a limited number of
pre-assigned passes have been given to the stakeholders to allow them access to
their buildings via roads with restricted access control. 3 The following roads towards the city
(1-way through traffic) will be opened to all commuters during morning peak
hours (5.00 am - 9.00 am), from 23 September 2009 to 25 September 2009:
