Nightly Closure of Jalan Ismail Sultan for RTS Works Until July 16

Jalan Ismail Sultan heading towards Stulang will be fully closed to all vehicles nightly until July 16. The closure is meant to facilitate construction works under the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project.
According to RTS Operations Pte Ltd (RTSO), the affected stretch lies after the traffic light junction near the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex and the R&F Mall area, close to the GBW Hotel.

The closure will take place every night from 10PM to 5AM, with construction expected to last for seven hours each night throughout the period.
To ease traffic flow, a contraflow will be activated periodically along Jalan Ismail Sultan heading towards the city centre. This will allow vehicles coming from the CIQ and R&F area and heading to Stulang to use the opposite lane as a temporary route.

Motorists are advised to follow all posted traffic signage and the instructions of flagmen at the site during the closure.
For more information, including the diversion map, the public may refer to RTSO’s official Facebook page.
