Proposed Enhancement to Loyang Ave between Tampines Expressway (TPE) and Pasir Ris Dr 3
This project involves the construction of an interchange over the existing Loyang Flyover (TPE) and Loyang Ave/ Tampines Ave 7 at-grade junction and a 0.9km section of the Loyang Viaduct, along Loyang Ave between Tampines Expressway (TPE) and Pasir Ris Dr 3. Other scope of works under Contract DE160 includes road widening of Loyang Ave between Pasir Ris Dr 1 and Pasir Ris Dr 3; alteration/addition works to pedestrian overhead bridge with lifts, retaining structures, bus shelters, covered walkways, drainage works, cycling paths and community spaces along Loyang Ave, Tampines Changkat and Tampines North.
For this contract, specialised overhead machinery will be deployed for construction to minimise impact on the at-grade traffic. As construction works will interface with underground utilities network and existing site constraints, traffic diversions would be required. More details of the traffic diversions will be announced later.
LTA and the contractors have carried out extensive engagements with stakeholders to mitigate noise inconvenience to residents by erecting temporary noise barriers along the new re-aligned TPE (PIE) slip road exit to Loyang Ave fronting residents of Pasir Ris St 11. Similar temporary noise barriers have been erected along Tampines North and Tampines Changkat Estates. More noise mitigation measures would be progressively introduced within the boundary of the construction activities.
