Upper Paya Lebar Underpass Opens To Traffic
As part of the Bartley Road extension project, a vehicular underpass was built along Upper Paya Lebar Road and opened to traffic on 8 March 2009.
The newly completed dual-two lane underpass allows motorist to bypass the junction of Bartley Road and Upper Paya Lebar Road as they travel towards Airport Road or Lorong Ah Soo.

With the opening of the underpass, the existing Upper Paya Lebar Road will be realigned, so that the junction of Upper Paya Lebar Road and Bartley Road will be relocated southwards directly above the underpass. The reconfigured traffic junction will facilitate better traffic flow for vehicles coming from both Upper Paya Lebar and Bartley Road.
Two new pedestrian overhead bridges have also been constructed along Bartley Road and Upper Paya Lebar Road as part of this project to facilitate pedestrian crossing.
