text-grayscale-800\">The congestion was due to overnight emergency repair works following a water pipe leak along Loyang Avenue towards Changi Village, near Old Tampines Road, at around noon that day.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"my-lg md:my-xl\">\n<p><hr class=\"flex-1 border-grayscale-100 lg:hidden\"\/><span class=\"text-grayscale-400 text-14 leading-16 font-primary text-center lg:text-left

and businesses were not affected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Two traffic lanes along the affected stretch were closed to facilitate the works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Two traffic lanes at the affected road were closed to facilitate the repair works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">According to Pasir Ris-Changi GRC MP Valerie Lee, the two lanes were between Block 149 Pasir Ris Street 13 and the Pasir Ris Drive 1 junction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">\u201cWe understand that Loyang Avenue is already experiencing heavy traffic, and this closure may cause further congestion and delays, especially during the evening peak,\u201d said Lee in a Facebook post at about 6pm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">She added that there would be no disruption to water supply.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Appealing for patience and understanding, Lee asked road users to allow additional travel time and, where possible, consider alternative routes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Kenneth, however, called the situation \u201ca mess\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">He told Stomp: \u201cThey should start considering doing all these road works only after midnight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">To support his point, Kenneth said construction works for Pasir Ris East MRT station on the Cross Island Line had \u201ccaused a lot of traffic jams previously and changed to midnight works only\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">However, late-night works have also sparked complaints.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal
