Expect road closures, disruption to traffic and access
restrictions in the run-up to the first F1 race in September
or early October next year.
With thousands expected to be affected by the event,
Minister of State for Trade and Industry S Iswaran said "we
will need the understanding and cooperation" of everyone,
from building owners to retailers and the public.
He said: "As some roads will have to be closed in the period
leading up to the race and during race days, as well as
after the race, there will be disruption to traffic. There
may also be some access restrictions around the track during
the period."
The minister added that an inter-agency committee will be
set up to work with the race promoters to ensure Singapore
stages a world-class F1 race, while doing its best "to
mitigate inconveniences".
The proposed circuit will run along
several of Singapore’s landmark
buildings and locations. The course
will be driven clockwise with virtually
no difference in elevation.
