Temporary roundabout in AMK to ease work on North-South Corridor

It will replace a cross-junction till the end of July 2025 and allow works to proceed safely

A traffic cross-junction in Ang Mo Kio near Mayflower Primary School will be converted into a signalised roundabout for nearly a year from 5am on Aug 18, to facilitate the construction of the NorthSouth Corridor tunnel beneath the junction.

In a Facebook post on Aug 12, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) noted that the roundabout at the intersection of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 and Avenue 6 will be in place till the end of July 2025.

Motorists can use the junction to get to Marymount Road, Lentor Avenue, Yio Chu Kang Road and the Central Expressway (CTE).

LTA added that such road diversions are necessary to create enough space for works on the North-South Corridor to proceed safely, since the corridor passes through busy and heavily built-up areas. The cross-junction will be reinstated once the construction is completed.

Noting possible delays for people travelling in the area, the authority urged all motorists and commuters to plan their journeys, and follow road markings on the affected roads. Motorists can also look out for signs on the affected stretches that come with clear directions to specific roads.
