The entrances and exits of certain MRT stations will be closed to regulate crowd flow, said the police, adding that City Hall, Raffles Place, Bayfront, Stadium, Tanjong Rhu and Nicoll Highway MRT stations are expected to be very crowded.
“In the event of overcrowding, trains may bypass affected stations, such as Bayfront MRT station and Stadium MRT Station, to divert crowds away from these crowded areas,” said SPF.
“Members of the public are advised to be patient and to follow the instructions of security personnel on duty.”
The public is encouraged to use other nearby alternatives such as Esplanade, Promenade, Downtown, Marina Bay, Kallang and Mountbatten MRT stations.
The police also noted that the pathways along the Esplanade Bridge, Bayfront Avenue, Merdeka Bridge and Tanjong Rhu Bridge are for “transit purposes” only.
This means pedestrians are not permitted to stop and congregate at these areas.
