About North-South Corridor (NSC)
Come 2027 (estimated), we will be able to enjoy the 21.5km North-South Corridor (NSC), Singapore First Integrated Transport Achievement linking the north parts of Singapore to the Central Business Districts. Good news to all residents in the north who are bearing the inconveniences at CTE.
Design of North-South Corridor
The NSC will promote new projects in the northern region while also alleviating the current high traffic demand between the north and south (e.g. on Central Expressway, Bukit Timah Expressway). Traffic will be diverted to viaducts and tunnels, allowing at-grade road space to be used for other purposes such as communal areas, bus lanes, and pedestrian and cycling routes.
For Commuters, Cyclists and Pedestrians
To accommodate public transit commuters, active mobility users, and pedestrians, the North South Corridor (NSC) will have dedicated bus lanes, cycling trunk routes, and pedestrian paths. When finished, it will provide a direct link between the northern region and the city center. All civil contracts for the tunnel and viaduct construction have been awarded, and work is presently underway.
Currently, constructions are going on intensely. The latest contract awarded was for the viaduct between Admiralty Road West and Sungei Seletar.
Commuters can anticipate smoother, faster rides after the NSC is done. The 21.5-kilometer corridor connects the city to the northern area.
Relieving Congestion at CTE
The corridor will also help to relieve traffic congestion on the CTE and important arterial roads like Thomson and Marymount. It will intersect with existing expressways, such as Seletar (SLE) and Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) and will re-divert traffic to shorten trips from the north to the city centre.
Save Travelling Time
Dedicated bus lanes is expected to shave 10 to 15 minuets off bus rides to and from the central city. This is done using dedicated and continuous bus lanes combined with bus priority signals.
First Integrated Transport Corridor
Through the bicycle trunk routes and pedestrian walkways, NSC will also help active mobility users and pedestrians. Along the entire corridor, they will connect with the Park Connector Network and local bike paths within HDB communities, improving connection for active mobility users and pedestrians.
Bearing With Construction
For now, it is inconvenient with the construction. Those living and working along the NSC are said to have resigned to the inconvenience. Most are irritated by the erratic lane closures and the change of path. LTA have been in touch with the condominiums and hospitals nearby to update them on the latest developments.
Those affected would certainly look forward to the completion of this North-South Corridor, hopfully before the year 2027.
