SINGAPORE: The Singapore Police Force (SPF) on Thursday (Sep 29) announced road closures during the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2022 and advised members of the public to use public transport when travelling to the circuit areas.

"During the closures, access will only be granted to authorised vehicles as well as police and emergency vehicles," the police said in a media release.

"Auxiliary police officers and traffic marshals will be deployed at the affected junctions to assist and direct motorists."

These roads and lanes will be closed to vehicular traffic during the stipulated times: 

Traffic delays are also expected along: Bayfront Avenue, Beach Road, Bras Basah Road, Cecil Street, Collyer Quay, Marina Boulevard, Middle Road, Nicoll Highway, North Bridge Road, Ophir Road, Robinson Road, Rochor Road, Sheares Avenue, Sheares Link, and Temasek Boulevard.

The police advised motorists to plan their routes early and avoid the affected roads. 

Motorists travelling to Suntec City from Bayfront Avenue, Bras Basah Road or Nicoll Highway are advised to use an alternate route via Rochor Road leading to Temasek Boulevard, SPF said.
