Restricted Acess into Woodlands CIQ via Woodlands Centre Road (Slip road).
Note that cars could still acess the slip road if they are travelling to Woodlands Road.
From 15th Sept, no acess is granted into the checkpoint from the sliproad at Woodlands Centre Road which connects with the junction at Woodlands Checkpoint Viaduct. Only Sv 160, 170 and 950 are allowed to acess via it.
Cars and bikes could only acess via BKE. Lorries would access from old Woodlands Road.
This rule is created due to many complaints by passengers, buisnesses and institutions in the affected CIQ area of noise, inconvinience, etc. SMRT recieved complaints by passengers of long waiting time and inconviniencee caused by the diversions.
Buisnesses like Sheng Siong, Andalus, Elias Kindergarten and a few others complained due to drop of customers and inconvinience for customers.
Rule operating hours:
Mon - Fri: 4 - 10 pm
Sat and Sun: 10 am - 10 pm

Service 195 will start/end trip from Commonwealth Drive (Block:92) bus stop.

Night spotting for Bridging + 56A + 195B will get interesting.
