  • 4 new ERP gantries

    THOSE who drive or cab to the Marina Sands integrated resort or Marina Bay Financial Centre will face a new set of electronic road-pricing gantries planned for the area.

    The Land Transport Authority announced on Thursday that four new gantries will be set up in Marina Centre, north of the East Coast Parkway, as the area is part of an enlarged Central Business District. An existing gantry in Central Boulevard will be removed.

    The four new gantries are in Marina Way (an exit road from the Ayer Rajah Expressway); Marina Station Road (near the new MRT station); and two on either direction of the new three-lane dual-carriageway Bay Bridge that links the new business and entertainment hub to Raffles Avenue.

    The additions bring the number of ERP gantries in the CBD from 39 to 36.

    LTA chief executive Yam Ah Mee said the new gantries are necessary because they form a cordon around the expanded CBD. Without them, motorists will use the new roads there to bypass congestion-priced roads in the city centre, he added.

    The erection of the new gantries will be done in stages. The first one on the Bay Bridge leading out of Marina Centre will be up in April, while the others will up some time in the third quarter. The Marina Sands resort is expected to open from April, while the Marina Bay Financial Centre is due to open by the third quarter.

    ..

    A bit confused here. isnt the reason for ERP is to make sure less people use certain roads?

    If so, why prevent people from bypassing congestion-priced roads? Meaning they wanna force more people to into the already congested roads?
