Singapore-Malaysia joint emergency exercise to affect the Tuas second link traffic on July 23
The Wednesday (July 23) closure will begin at 5am and end at 2 pm.
Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA) in an advisory said the exercise will simulate an emergency response to a multi-vehicle collision along the Tuas Second Link involving trucks carrying chemicals.
The public is advised not to be alarmed.
It added that motorists travelling towards Malaysia will be diverted to a lane on the opposite carriageway during the exercise.
"Motorists should plan their journey in advance and closely follow the traffic marshals' directions on site.
"Where possible, motorists are advised to avoid the Tuas Second Link while the exercise is ongoing and use the Woodlands Checkpoint during this period,' it said.
The exercise is part of a bilateral cooperation programme under the Malaysia-Singapore Joint Committee on the Environment (MSJCE) involving the NEA, Malaysia's Department of Environment (DOE), and several other agencies. - Bernama
