All 3 lanes from S'pore to M'sia at Tuas 2nd Link to close for chemical spill exercise on Jul. 23

All three lanes from Singapore to Malaysia at the Tuas Second Link will be closed to vehicular traffic on Jul. 23 from 5 am to 2 pm.

This is due to the Malaysia-Singapore Joint Committee on the Environment, Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA), Malaysia's Department of Environment, and other agencies conducting a chemical spill emergency response exercise.

According to NEA's media advisory, the exercise will simulate the emergency response to a multi-vehicle collision along the Tuas Second Link involving trucks carrying chemicals.

Therefore, the three lanes on the Singapore-Malaysia-bound carriageway of the Tuas Second Link will be closed to vehicular traffic.

Motorists travelling towards Malaysia will be diverted to a lane on the opposite carriageway instead.

NEA advises motorists to plan their journey in advance and closely follow the traffic marshal's direction.

"Where possible, motorists are advised to avoid the Tuas Second Link when the exercise is ongoing and use the Woodlands Checkpoint during this period," NEA added.
