Heavy traffic expected at land checkpoints during Lunar New Year

Heavy traffic is expected to flow through the land checkpoints at Woodlands and Tuas next week given the approaching Lunar New Year holidays, said the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).

For vehicles departing from Singapore, the traffic build-up is expected to start from February 1 and continue throughout the festive period.

For vehicles arriving into Singapore, traffic is expected to be particularly heavy on February 5 and last till February 6.

ICA said travellers using the land checkpoints during these periods can expect delays.

To avoid the surge of people and vehicles seeking clearance at the land checkpoints, travellers are advised to adjust their travel plans and avoid the peak periods altogether
