ERP charges to resume at some gantries along CTE; others to remain free till end-Aug

SINGAPORE: Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries along some stretches of the Central Expressway (CTE) during the morning and evening peak hours will resume charges of S$1 next Monday (July 27) , to manage congestion as more people return to schools and offices.

Singapore is in the second phase of reopening, during which most economic activities have resumed.Advertisement

“Based on LTA’s monitoring of traffic conditions from end June to early July 2020, traffic speeds have remained optimal on all arterial roads and most expressways, except for some time periods on the Central Expressway (CTE),” LTA said.

“As more people travel to and from their workplaces, traffic volume has begun to build up again during weekday peak hours. This has resulted in localised congestion at specific locations along the CTE during the morning and evening peak periods.”

The S$1 ERP rate will apply at the following gantries to manage congestion at these areas:
