Once completed, the KPE is to be a dual-carriageway expressway with three lanes in each direction and eight interchanges and stretch over 12 km from the Tampines Expressway (TPE) in the north-east to the East Coast Parkway (ECP) in the south. About 9km of the expressway, from ECP to Defu Lane 3, will be built entirely underground as road tunnels, using the cut-and-cover method. This will make it the longest underground expressway in South-east Asia.
The KPE, which is being opened in phases, is part of LTA’s plan to develop a comprehensive road network for Singapore. Physical works on the KPE started in 2001 and is targeted to complete in 2008.Drivers got their chance to experience the Kallang—Paya Lebar Expressway for the first time as the first phase of the road opened to vehicular traffic last week.Do you want to have a look?
