North-South Corridor works Novena intersection to be split into two T-junctions

From Sept 8, motorists who use the cross junction intersecting Thomson Road, Moulmein Road and Newton Road will be greeted with two T-junctions, instead of the current single multi-way junction.

This new traffic configuration is to pave the way for the next phase of works on the North-South Corridor (NSC), and will stay in place until construction of the NSC is completed from 2027 onwards, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Facebook on Sept 2.

The authority added that several stages of traffic diversions are needed to construct the NSC tunnel under Thomson Road, given Novena's dense development.

Some of the other traffic changes include turning Goldhill Plaza road into a one-way road where vehicles can enter only from Thomson Road. At present, it is a two-way road where vehicles can enter and exit from both Thomson Road and Khiang Guan Avenue.

Another new configuration is the removal of a left-turning slip road from Newton Road into Thomson Road. Vehicles will have to stop and wait for the traffic light at the new T-junction.
