Lane Closures Ahead: What Motorists Should Anticipate!

Attention, Singapore drivers! Brace yourselves for significant lane closures on the iconic Benjamin Sheares Bridge. From July 2025 to July 2026, expect disruptions as crucial upgrades are set to take place.

Why the Upgrade?

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has announced that the parapet wall system on this vital structure will be replaced. This safety feature, which shields both vehicles and pedestrians, is getting a modern upgrade to meet the latest safety standards.

Phased Approach: How It Will Unfold!

The ambitious upgrading project will unfold in six phases, with only one lane being closed at a time to minimize inconvenience. Plus, worry not during significant events like the National Day Parade and Formula 1 Grand Prix—no lane closures will occur then!

A Landmark of History and Engineering!

Opened in 1981, the Benjamin Sheares Bridge is not only Singapore’s longest and tallest bridge at 1.8 kilometers long but also a pivotal landmark spanning the mouth of the Singapore River and Marina Bay. Named after Singapore’s second President, this bridge is a testament to the country’s engineering prowess.

Get Ready for the Change!

As these upgrades commence, be prepared for potential travel delays. Stay tuned for further updates from the LTA to navigate your route effectively during this essential upgrade period!
