Temporary road closure along Bartley Road on Oct 3 for bridge removal

If you are a frequent user of Bartley Road, take note: the stretch between Mount Vernon Road and Bidadari Park Drive will be closed for four-and-a-half hours on Oct 3.

In a news release on Friday (Sept 25), the Housing and Development Board (HDB) said the temporary closure from 1am to 5.30am is to facilitate the removal of an old pedestrian overhead bridge near Bartley Christian Church.

HDB said that pedestrians will not be affected, as a new pedestrian overhead bridge has been constructed nearby. Lift access at this bridge is expected to be available by the end of this year.

During the temporary road closure:

Motorists are advised to use the alternative route along Bidadari Park Drive, Bartley Walk and Mount Vernon Road.

Residents of Bartley Beacon can still enter and exit the development using the existing access points at Bidadari Park Drive and Mount Vernon Road.

Public transport commuters are not affected as bus and MRT services will continue to operate normally.

Motorists should look out for barricades and diversion signs that will be set up to guide them.

Traffic controllers will also be stationed on site to guide motorists during the closure period, HDB said.

"Motorists are advised to drive carefully and follow the information signs displayed," it added.

如果您经常使用巴特利路，请注意：10 月 3 日，弗农山路和比达达里公园大道之间的路段将封闭四个半小时。

建屋发展局（HDB）在周五（9月25日）发布的新闻稿中表示，凌晨1点至5点30分的临时封闭是为了方便拆除巴特利基督教教堂附近的一座旧人行天桥。

建屋发展局表示，行人不会受到影响，因为附近已新建了一座人行天桥。预计这座天桥的电梯将于今年年底投入使用。

临时道路封闭期间：

建议驾车人士使用沿比达达里公园大道、巴特利步道和弗农山路的替代路线。

Bartley Beacon 的居民仍然可以使用 Bidadari Park Drive 和 Mount Vernon Road 的现有入口进出该开发项目。

公共交通通勤者不受影响，巴士和地铁服务将继续正常运营。

驾车者应注意设置的路障和绕行标志，这些设施将引导他们行驶。

建屋发展局表示，届时还将安排交通管制人员在现场引导驾车人士在道路封闭期间通行。

“建议驾驶员谨慎驾驶，并遵守指示牌上的信息。”声明还补充道。
