Opening of Woodsville Interchange (Tunnel) on 28 Jan 2012



The Woodsville Interchange (Tunnel)is located at the intersection of Serangoon Road, Upper Serangoon Road, MacPherson Road and Bendemeer Road. Serangoon Road and Upper Serangoon Road are two major arterial roads linking the city with the Serangoon corridor and the northeast sector.





With the opening of this Woodsville Interchange (Tunnel), on 28 January 2012, motorists will be able to use the new vehicular tunnels and flyover to travel seamlessly from:

• Upper Serangoon Road to Bendemeer Road
• MacPherson Road to Bendemeer Road
• Serangoon Road to Upper Serangoon Road
• and from PIE slip Road to Kallang Way.

Connectivity between the northeast sector and the city will be improved.



The completed upgrading project bring about the following features:

• A 255m long two-lane vehicular tunnel from Serangoon Road to Upper Serangoon Road
• A 245m long two-lane vehicular tunnel from Upper Serangoon Road to Bendemeer Road
• A 160m long one-lane vehicular tunnel from MacPherson Road to Bendemeer Road
• A 400m long one-lane flyover as a direct road link to cater for traffic movement from PIE towards Kallang Way (completed in July 2011)*

* The single-lane vehicular flyover was opened to the public on 31 July 2011. The flyover links Jalan Toa Payoh to Jalan Kolam Ayer leading to Kallang Way and PIE (Changi) directly.
