SINGAPORE: Electronic road pricing (ERP) rates will go up by S$1 from Sep 19 at five expressway locations, including southbound CTE after Braddell Road and the AYE after Jurong Town Hall towards the city.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Tuesday (Sep 13) that "traffic has built up at various stretches of expressways" in August 2022.
“To manage congestion at these locations, ERP rates will be adjusted by S$1 with effect from Sep 19 at the following five locations during the five specific time periods,” LTA said.
Rates for other previously announced timeslots and gantries remain unchanged, LTA said.
"With these adjustments, the number of locations and timeslots charged is still significantly lower than the number charged pre-COVID," it added.
LTA said that it will continue to monitor traffic speeds and congestion levels closely and assess if ERP rates need to be adjusted further.
