An extra lane was added in each direction of Paya Lebar, when LTA reinstates the road to its original alignment. The road was realigned to facilitate MRT Circle Line works.

The project of widening Paya Lebar/Upper Paya Lebar Road from Geylang Road to Kim Chuan Road was awarded to Samwoh Asphalt Premix Pte Ltd.

Widening works at the stretch of road, from Kim Chuan Road to Jalan Afifi (near to Geylang Road), include converting the current dual three-lane carriageway to a dual four-lane carriageway. The works was completed on 2 April 2008.

The widening at the rest of the stretch of Paya Lebar Road from the PIE junction to Geylang Road was completed during the first quarter of 2010.

With the completion of the project, the widened Paya Lebar Road provides additional capacity for heavier traffic flow in the area.
