Features
The completed road project will bring about these features:
- Four slip roads connecting PIE and Bedok North Avenue 3
- A dual 3-lane Bedok North Avenue 3
- 2 new pedestrian overhead bridges along Bedok North Avenue 3
- Upgraded commuter facilities including 5 new bus shelters
Benefits
When the interchange is completed, the new vehicular interchange will provide motorists with a direct access between the PIE and Bedok North Avenue 3. It provides convenience to residents living in the vicinity, parents sending their children to the nearby schools and visitors to Bedok Reservoir Park.
To cater for the increase in the traffic capacity, Bedok North Avenue 3 will be widened with additional lane. Commuters will also enjoy greater convenience with covered linkways to the new bus shelters.
Minimize impact on community
LTA has worked closely with the National Parks Board (NParks) to carry out advance planting along the four slip roads before the commencement of work. In addition, LTA will work closely with NParks in a new scheme to carry out advance tree planting along the side-table of the new slip roads before the existing trees are felled. In this way, the greenery around the area will be maintained even during the construction stage where possible.
During the construction period, inconvenience such as noise and dust may arise. LTA seeks your understanding in this matter and will work closely with the contractors to take the necessary measures to minimize any disruption.
