FIVE new Electronic Road Pricing gantries along the Singapore River will go live this evening.
They are at Eu Tong Sen Street, New Bridge Road, South Bridge Road and Fullerton Road in both directions.
The new gantries, which will bring the number here to 65, will charge $2 from 6pm to 7.30pm, and $1 from 7.30pm to 8pm on weekdays.
The Land Transport Authority says the intention of the gantries is to reduce the number of vehicles passing through the City Hall and Marina Centre areas to get to other places.
Two of the five gantries - the one in Eu Tong Sen Street, and the one in Fullerton Road in the direction of Suntec City - will also operate on Saturday from 12.30pm to 8pm.
They will charge $2.
Besides the new gantries, higher rates and extended operating hours will also kick in at gantries in the Central Business District from today.
