Oil spill at Kampong Bahru Road, third such incident since Fri
(Updated with reopening of affected lane)
Another oil spill has happened on Singapore’s roads, leading to the closure of one lane.
The Land Transport Authority said in a tweet at 6.39pm that due to a spillage along Kampong Bahru Road on Tuesday (2 February), the affected lane is closed to traffic for resurfacing.
In a later tweet, LTA said it reopened the lane at 10.25pm after carrying out the resurfacing works.
The latest oil spill was the third such incident in less than a week.
On Monday (1 February), two lanes along the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) towards Changi were closed after an accident involving an oil tanker and a tipper truck caused an oil spill.
Last Friday (26 January), an oil spill resulting from an accident involving a palm oil tanker caused the closure of two of the lanes along Bukit Timah Expressway towards Pan Island Expressway, leading to massive traffic jams in Woodlands.
