SINGAPORE - Motorists can expect lane closures on Benjamin Sheares Bridge from July 2025 to July 2026 due to replacement of the parapet wall system there.
In a Facebook post on July 16, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said the wall system, which serves as protection for vehicles and pedestrians, will be replaced to comply with the latest requirements.
The upgrading works will be carried out in six stages, with only one lane to be closed during each phase. There will be no lane closures during major events such as the National Day Parade and Formula 1 Grand Prix.
Opened in 1981, the 1.8km-long Benjamin Sheares Bridge was named after Singapore’s second President.
It is Singapore’s longest and highest bridge, and spans the mouth of the Singapore River and Marina Bay.
