Everything about Central Expressway Singapore totally explained
The
Central Expressway (
Abbreviation:
CTE; ;
Malay:
Lebuhraya Tengah) in
Singapore is the major highway connecting the
city centre of Singapore with the northern residential parts of the island, including
Toa Payoh,
Bishan and
Ang Mo Kio and further onwards to the
Seletar Expressway and the
Tampines Expressway.
The first stage of the expressway begun as two separate parts: one from
Seletar to Bukit Timah Road (next to Cavenagh Road), and the second from Chin Swee Road in Chinatown to the
Ayer Rajah Expressway in Radin Mas. The second stage of the expressway involved the construction of the two tunnels that travel underneath previously built-up areas, including the
Singapore River,
Fort Canning Park and
Orchard Road. The CTE tunnels were the only underground roads in Singapore till the
Fort Canning Tunnel and
Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway opened in 2007.
As it's the only expressway to connect the city and the northern residential areas, it's more prone to congestion than the other expressways in Singapore. In the latest attempt to relieve congestion, the
Land Transport Authority announced on
27 May 2005 that with effect from
1 August 2005,
Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) operation hours for the CTE will be extended into the evening, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. This is the first time that evening ERP hours are introduced for a Singapore road.
