An overhead signage along the Causeway towards Woodlands Checkpoint landed on top of the two Malaysia-registered heavy vehicles on Monday (April 6) morning.
The incident happened at about 7.35am and affected both lanes of the road for about 10 minutes.
Videos and photos of the incident circulating on social media show an overhead signage — used to direct buses, coaches, and passenger vans — on a bus and trailer.
No visible damage was seen on the structure from which the signage was mounted, although the height restriction barrier appeared dented.
Since both vehicles do not have height exceeding the barrier, the damage may have been caused by the falling signage.
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) confirmed that the signage dislodged amid strong winds and heavy rains.
It added that annual inspections on 11 such gantries and signages at Woodlands Checkpoint, and 8 at Tuas Checkpoint, undergo annual inspections.
The most recent inspection was conducted in October and December 2025 respectively.
