Phase one of the redevelopment and extension of Woodlands Checkpoint will begin in September this year, the Immigrations and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and Singapore Land Authority (SLA) said in a joint press release on Wednesday (June 4). As part of phase one, an extension of the checkpoint will be built at Old Woodlands Town Centre and will comprise new automated clearance facilities for cargo vehicles, arriving cars and arriving motorcycles. Additionally, the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) will be extended to create a direct route for vehicles exiting Woodlands Checkpoint to access the BKE, reducing traffic congestion on local roads during peak hours, ICA said. Following phase one, subsequent phases will see additional clearance facilities and retrofitting of the existing checkpoint.
