Temporary road closure along Bartley Road on Oct 3 for bridge removal

If you are a frequent user of Bartley Road, take note: the stretch between Mount Vernon Road and Bidadari Park Drive will be closed for four-and-a-half hours on Oct 3.

In a news release on Friday (Sept 25), the Housing and Development Board (HDB) said the temporary closure from 1am to 5.30am is to facilitate the removal of an old pedestrian overhead bridge near Bartley Christian Church.

HDB said that pedestrians will not be affected, as a new pedestrian overhead bridge has been constructed nearby. Lift access at this bridge is expected to be available by the end of this year.

During the temporary road closure:

• Motorists are advised to use the alternative route along Bidadari Park Drive, Bartley Walk and Mount Vernon Road.
• Residents of Bartley Beacon can still enter and exit the development using the existing access points at Bidadari Park Drive and Mount Vernon Road.
• Public transport commuters are not affected as bus and MRT services will continue to operate normally.

Motorists should look out for barricades and diversion signs that will be set up to guide them.

Traffic controllers will also be stationed on site to guide motorists during the closure period, HDB said.

"Motorists are advised to drive carefully and follow the information signs displayed," it added.
