The new Sentosa Gateway tunnel is set to open at 10am on Apr 27. According to the Land Transport Authority, the one-way tunnel will directly link outbound traffic from Sentosa Island to Lower Delta Road and Keppel Road. It’s expected to help decrease congestion during peak hours and weekends at traffic-heavy intersections along Sentosa Gateway, Telok Blangah Road, Kampong Bahru Road and Lower Delta Road.
As a result of its location near to the North-East Line MRT tunnels and the West Coast Highway viaduct foundations, the new tunnel is only accessible to cars and motorcycles due to its height limit of 3.5m. Warning signs and height restriction beams will be present to stop buses and larger vehicles from entering — these vehicles can continue using the roads towards Telok Blangah Road.
