To manage congestion, the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates at 5 locations will increase by S$1.

LTA said traffic has been building up on various stretches of expressways, and these changes have been made in response to the monitoring of traffic conditions throughout last month.
At AYE before Alexandra towards the city and the set of two gantries on PIE on Kallang Bahru and Slip road into Bendemeer, motorists will pay S$1 from 8.30am to 9am.
For the set of three gantries on AYE after Jurong Town Hall towards the city, motorists will pay S$3 from 5.30pm to 6pm, up from the current S$2.
