1.     To facilitate the construction of Downtown Line Stage 2, the current Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantry at Upper Bukit Timah Road near Hume Avenue will be relocated about 150 metres further down the road towards the city. The relocation is necessary to facilitate construction of the tunnel along Upper Bukit Timah.

2.     The columns for the new gantry will be installed on Wednesday, 30 December 2009 and installation will be completed on Tuesday, 5 January 2010. Motorists will see two separate ERP gantries during this period. However, the new gantry will not be operational until the existing gantry is decommissioned.

3.     To facilitate the installation, Upper Bukit Timah Road will be partially closed to traffic from 10pm, 30 December to 5am, 31 December, and fully closed from 12am to 5am on 5 January. During the road closure on 5 January, motorists affected will be diverted to Hume Avenue as shown in the attached map.

4.     The switch over of the new ERP gantry operation will be carried out in early February 2010. The current gantry will be dismantled by early March 2010.

5.     Existing ERP rates and operating hours apply. Should motorists have any queries, they can contact the LTA hotline at 1800-CALL LTA.
