The North-South Expressway (Abbreviation: NSE; simplified Chinese: 南北高速公路; pinyin: Nánbĕi Gāosù Gōnglù; Malay: Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan) is the 11th and newest of Singapore's network of expressways. Construction of the expressway was announced on 30 January 2008 as part of a major review of Singapore's transport network by the Land Transport Authority. The new 21 kilometres (13.05 miles) expressway would cost about S$7-8 billion when fully complete by 2020 and will connect the East Coast Parkway with the northern parts of Singapore[1].
[edit] Route
While specific route alignment details has not been announced, indications of approximate routing has been published earlier in the Urban Redevelopment Authority's Singapore Concept Plan 2001[2]. The indicated route would commence from Admiralty Road West in northern Singapore and proceed southwards along Gambas Avenue, Sembawang Road, Lentor Ave, Marymount Road, Thomson Road, Bukit Timah Road and Ophir Road before merging with the western end of the East Coast Parkway (ECP) at the Benjamin Sheares Bridge (after a section of the ECP from the bridge to the Ayer Rajah Expressway becomes downgraded into a normal road). En-route, there will be intersections with the Seletar Expressway, Pan Island Expressway, and the Central Expressway.[3]
