Persistent Traffic Jams along Wan Tho Avenue during Peak Hours

Mr Sitoh Yih Pin asked the Minister for Transport whether there are plans to ease the persistent traffic jams along Wan Tho Avenue during peak hours.

Mr Lui Tuck Yew: By the end of this year, LTA will put up signs along Wan Tho Avenue to advise motorists heading towards the city and the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) to use Pheng Geck Avenue and Tai Thong Crescent. The developer of Sennett Residences is also widening Wan Tho Avenue near the junction with Upper Serangoon Road ahead of the development completion date. This will help to ease the traffic queue along Wan Tho Avenue.
