With the change, ERP rates along the Southbound CTE after Braddell Road and PIE Slip Road into Southbound CTE will reach as high as S$4 during peak hours.
The LTA clarified that rates for previously announced gantries and timeslots will remain unchanged.
They added that even with these adjustments, the number of locations and timeslots charged is still significantly lower than that before Covid-19.
LTA will continue to monitor traffic speeds and congestion levels closely. They will then assess if ERP rates need to be further adjusted in future.
The last ERP rate change was over a month ago on 1 Aug.
