SINGAPORE - There is congestion on the Seletar Expressway due to an oil leak on Lane 1, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Wednesday morning.
"Obstacle on SLE (towards CTE) after Lentor Ave Exit with congestion till Woodlands Ave 12 Exit. Avoid lane 1," the transport authority said on Twitter at 10am.

One lane was closed off to clean up the oil. The lane was reopened at 9.39am.
Ms Azliana A., who was travelling on CTE at 9.15am, told The Straits Times she saw a sign with the alert: "Oil spill on Lane 1", just before the Lentor exit.
