Motorists likely to face heavy traffic at Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints over March school holidays: ICA

SINGAPORE – Those planning a trip to Malaysia during the upcoming March school holidays should factor in more travelling time as heavy traffic is expected at Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints from Friday to March 20.

At the peak of the March school holidays in 2019, the average waiting time for people departing or arriving by car via the land checkpoints was about three hours. During the year-end school holidays last year, about 362,000 travellers crossed the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints daily. ICA added that there were several examples of heavy departure traffic on the Bukit Timah Expressway towards the Woodlands checkpoint due to tailbacks from the Causeway.

It advised motorists to check the traffic situation at both checkpoints through the Land Transport Authority’s OneMotoring website, or the Expressway Monitoring and Advisory System installed on the BKE and Ayer Rajah Expressway, before embarking on their journey.
