Wider roads to Sentosa

ROADS leading to Sentosa could be widened by 2010 when the integrated resort (IR) on the island opens. They include Sentosa Gateway, Telok Blangah Road and Kampong Bahru Road.

An extra two lanes may also be added to the four-lane Sentosa causeway and dedicated lanes set aside for traffic moving in and out of the IR, known officially as Resorts World.

These are among the road improvements being considered, said Minister of State (Transport) Lim Hwee Hua yesterday. She was replying to Dr Lam Pin Min (Ang Mo Kio GRC), who asked whether the transport network was being improved to cater to the expected swell in tourists and vehicles with the opening of Resorts World.

The Sentosa Development Corporation is also looking at ways to encourage people to use public transport, she added.

These plans are in addition to Resorts World's plans, announced in March, to build a new, three-lane bridge running parallel to the existing causeway.
