Impact of the opening of the NSC

Current construction site of the future North South Expressway Corridor (NSC)

Entrance & Exit to future North South Expressway Corridor (NSC)

Buses using the Queen St Bus Terminal currently ply this pink-colored route. But when the North South Expressway Corridor (NSC) opens, SJE and CW buses could potentially change their routes to use it as it is a quicker, more direct way to the border (blue-colored routes). Assuming that no changes to the bus terminal and streets are made, the blue route could potentially cause congestion problems, as seen in the traffic flow maps next page

An analysis shows the existing traffic flows around the site get congested in both peak and nonpeak times of the day, even on weekends (the redder the line, the more congested). Once the North South Expressway Corridor opens, traffic congestion around the site could worsen, especially at its entry and exit points.

However, if planned well, the North South Expressway Corridor at the very doorstep of the site could be an asset towards the development of the site.
