VISITORS to Sentosa had to take a different route to get to the island on Wednesday.

Vehicles crossed to the island via a new $80 million second causeway, built by the Resorts World at Sentosa integrated resort (IR). The link was opened early Wednesday morning.

The existing bridge has been closed. It will be converted into a one-way, four-lane carriageway.

When it reopens next month or in September, all four lanes will used for traffic heading out of Sentosa.

The new bridge, which will afford direct access to the IR, will then serve all traffic heading for the island.
