510,000 travellers used Singapore-Malaysia land checkpoints on Mar 28, highest in a single day

TRAFFIC TO REMAIN HEAVY 

Traffic is expected to remain very heavy on Friday and Saturday at both land checkpoints with continuous tailbacks from Malaysia’s checkpoints for departing motorists, ICA said.

Travellers can expect a delay of up to three hours or more, it said in a Facebook update at around 1.25pm.

“At Woodlands Checkpoint, departure car queues tailback from Malaysia have extended to beyond Woodlands Ave 3 exit 10A.

“At Tuas Checkpoint, departure car queues tailback from Malaysia has receded to 2nd Link Bridge.”

Arrival traffic is also expected to be heavy on Mar 31 as travellers who have departed are expected to return to Singapore, ICA said.

Travellers using the land checkpoints are advised to factor in additional waiting time for immigration clearance, it added.

“ICA also seeks travellers’ understanding and cooperation to be patient, observe traffic rules, maintain lane discipline, and cooperate with officers on-site when using the land checkpoints.”
