Finally, the southbound section of the Lornie Highway (Phase 1) will be open to traffic on 28 October 2018.
This will helps to ease traffic flow from the existing Thomson Road towards the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE), Adam and Farrer Road.
The new highway which runs parallel to the Lornie Road will serve motorists travelling between Braddell Road and surrounding roads towards the PIE, Adam and Farrer Road.
By the first quarter of 2019, they will complete the northbound highway (Phase 2) towards MacRitchie Viaduct.
Later on, when the new highway is fully completed, they expect the congestion along Lornie Road and PIE to ease. In this case, this will cater to the expected growth in future traffic demand.
