ERP rates for 7 gantries on ECP, CTE to rise by $1

Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates at seven gantries will go up by $1 or 50 cents from next Monday.

The affected gantries on the Central Expressway (CTE) and East Coast Parkway Expressway (ECP) follows a quarterly review of traffic conditions on ERP-priced roads and expressways, the Land Transport Authority in a statement on Monday.

Road users of two gantries on ECP (Fort Road) and the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) slip road onto ECP will have to pay $6 between 8:30am and 9am, up from $5 previously, it said.

Also, four gantries on the southbound CTE after Braddell Road and on the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) slip road into southbound CTE will be affected. An additional surcharge of one dollar will be imposed from 7am to 7:30am, where previously there was none, and rates will increase from $4 to $5 from 7:30am to 8am.

Rates at the northbound CTE before PIE will go up by 50 cents to a dollar between 5:30pm to 6pm, and by a dollar to $2 from 6pm to 6:30pm.

There are no changes to the other gantries and the next review will be in November.
