LTA carrying out junction improvement works to ease traffic congestion around Yishun Dam

Residents reported heavy traffic along Yishun Dam during peak hours from around 7am to 8.30am and 6pm to 7.30pm, which would worsen when it rained.

Three traffic junctions will be expanded and reconfigured – at Yishun Avenue 1 and Yishun Avenue 8, Yishun Avenue 1 and Seletar West Link, and Seletar West Link and West Camp Road. The plan is for vehicles heading to Seletar North Link via Seletar West Link to use West Camp Road instead.“As vehicles will be discharged more quickly at the junctions, the traffic along the dam will flow faster, especially during the peak hours,” he said then.

In his Facebook post, Mr Goh had said the improvements are an interim measure to ease the traffic congestion at Yishun Dam, “given that the original full improvement plans to be done in 2030 way too far into the future”. The spokeswoman said the changes to the junctions will be permanent. With the upcoming North-South Corridor set to provide an alternative travel route for motorists when it opens in phases from 2027, “there are no immediate plans to widen the existing road along Yishun Dam or to build a new bridge across Lower Seletar Reservoir”, she added.

Precautionary measures such as the installation of silt screens and noise and environmental management controls will be put in place while the works are being carried out, said the LTA spokeswoman.
