We’ve just awarded a contract to enhance the road network around Dawson estate in Queenstown.
The works will improve accessibility and connectivity in the area, while providing better cycling connections to the surrounding park connectors. Key improvements include:
• A new road extension of Kay Siang Road between Dawson Road and Queensway
• Widening of Kay Siang Road (between Tanglin Road and Dawson Road) and Tanglin Road (between Margaret Drive and Kay Siang Road) from dual 1-lane to dual 2-lane
• New cycling paths along Kay Siang Road to connect to the Alexandra Canal and surrounding park connectors
🏗️Works are expected to start progressively from the late 2026 and to be completed by 2030.
Stay tuned for more updates as we build a more connected and accessible Dawson! 🚧🚲

#PSA #BPLRT will be closed on 20 and 27 September 2026 for final phase of renewal works.
The full-day closures will facilitate engineering works and reduce the need for additional service adjustments, as we complete the final stage of the BPLRT renewal programme.
These will be the last planned service closures before the BPLRT renewal programme is completed by end-2026, which will deliver a more reliable BPLRT system for commuters.
Affected commuters can take regular bus services (922, 972 & 976) or Shuttle Bus B* (every 5-10 minutes) to travel.
*Regular LRT fares apply.
🙏 Thank you for your patience and understanding as we enter the final stretch of the BPLRT renewal works!

#PSA From 3 Sep 2026, the Heavy Vehicles Zero Emission Scheme (HVZES) incentive quantum for lighter zero-tailpipe emission heavy vehicles will be reduced from $40,000 to $15,000. 📉
There will be no change to the incentive for zero-tailpipe emission heavy vehicles with Maximum Laden Weight (MLW) of >7,000kg as the cost differential with their internal combustion engine (ICE) equivalents remains significant.
Zero-tailpipe emission heavy vehicles registered using COEs obtained before the first Sep 2026 bidding exercise will continue to receive the $40,000 incentive regardless of their MLW.
