A new slip road and a pedestrian overhead bridge will be constructed as part of a junction that will link Bartley Road to the main road of Bidadari town.
When completed, the junction will connect Bidadari to Bartley Road and Serangoon Avenue 1 via Bidadari Park Drive.
The new slip road will be added to the junction in Bartley Road near Maris Stella High School to allow motorists travelling from Braddell Road to make a direct left turn into Serangoon Avenue 1, said the Housing Board on Aug 15 in response to queries by The Straits Times.
Currently, motorists have to wait for the traffic signal at the junction before turning left into Serangoon Avenue 1.
An additional dedicated rightturn lane will be constructed to allow traffic coming from the direction of Bartley Road East - where Maris Stella High is situated to turn directly into Serangoon Avenue 1, said HDB.
At present, there is a shared right turn and U-turn lane on this section of Bartley Road, so the dedicated right-turn lane will facilitate smoother traffic flow.
The new overhead bridge will be fitted with lifts and built near Bartley Christian Church to improve connectivity to the Bidadari estate, HDB said.
HDB said that one of the signalised pedestrian crossings will be moved from the east to the west of the new junction as vehicles are not allowed to make a U-turn there, enhancing the safety of pedestrians crossing Bartley Road.
HDB will also construct larger traffic islands and enlarge existing ones at the junction.
