A section of Bukit Timah Road (The Sterling condominium to 1 King Albert Park) and Dunearn Road (Rifle Range Road to The Blossomvale condominium) will be temporarily closed to traffic from 12.30am to 5am on 8 and 9 July 2025.
The temporary closure is for the removal of an existing pedestrian overheard bridge (POB) near Rifle Range Road, to facilitate PUB’s ongoing drainage upgrading works along Bukit Timah Canal. Pedestrians can use the Rail Corridor Truss Bridge as a temporary crossing until the replacement POB is completed in the second quarter of 2026.
Motorists headed towards Sixth Avenue are advised to use the alternative route via Rifle Range Road towards Hua Guan Avenue. Those travelling towards Clementi Road will need to make a detour via Blackmore Drive Road and Old Holland Road towards Ulu Pandan Road, before joining up at Clementi Road to return to Bukit Timah Road.
Barricades, diversion signs and road marshals will be deployed to guide affected motorists. Motorists are advised to drive carefully and observe the information signs displayed.

Non-biting midges occur naturally in the aquatic environment. These midges do not bite or spread diseases although they could cause nuisance when present in large numbers. PUB is actively monitoring and managing midge populations at Pandan Reservoir and Bedok Reservoir through mitigating measures that control the midge population at various stages of its life cycle. Fogging is carried out to target adult midges present around the reservoir rip-rap and surrounding vegetation in the morning and/or evening during which most midges emerge. Residents and Park users are advised to plan their visits accordingly.
