SINGAPORE \u2013 Travellers heading to Malaysia via the land checkpoints can expect waits of at least two hours.<\/p>\n
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said in Facebook posts on April 30 at around 7.15pm that there is very heavy departure traffic at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints.<\/p>\n
Queueing time for motorists at Woodlands Checkpoint is expected to be two hours or more, while the wait at Tuas Checkpoint is at least three hours, said ICA.<\/p>\n
At Woodlands Checkpoint, the queue has reached BKE (Woodlands) Exit 10A.<\/p>\n
The heavy traffic at Tuas Checkpoint is due to tailback from Malaysia, with the queue reaching the middle of the Second Link Bridge, said ICA. <\/p>\n
