Travellers departing Singapore via Woodlands Checkpoint are advised that there is currently heavy departure traffic.<\/p>\n
In an update posted on its social media at 5.26pm on Friday (Aug 28), the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) informed motorists that delays are expected.<\/p>\n
They are also advised to check traffic conditions before departure.<\/p>\n
Checks by AsiaOne on the Land Transport Authority’s (LTA) traffic cameras indicate that the heavy traffic is not due to tailback from Malaysia.<\/p>\n
The queue is seen stretching past Woodlands Crossing, to the Woodlands Avenue 3 exit (Exit 10A) on the Bukit Timah Expressway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
