New roads to link Tengah town to the PIE

Motorists living in the upcoming Tengah Town in the west will have direct access to the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) by 2027.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will be calling for tenders for new connections which will include a flyover, and which will also give residents in Jurong Town another link to the PIE.

The project involves building new roads and modifying existing ones.

It includes a 0.5km dual four-lane flyover along PIE near the exit to Jurong Canal Drive, a road junction below the flyover which will connect PIE, Jurong Canal Drive and Tengah Boulevard leading to Tengah Town, and widening of PIE between Hong Kah Flyover and Bukit Batok Flyover.

The LTA said on 29 September 2020 that the tender will be called by end of this year.

To facilitate the construction of the new flyover and at-grade road junction, a 1.5km stretch of PIE will be shifted northwards onto a part of Jurong Road. With this, traffic along Jurong Road will be re-routed to PIE before joining Bukit Batok Road.
