Old checkpoint to get S$2.5m makeover aimed at easing congestion SINGAPORE: Motorists crossing the Woodlands Checkpoint can soon expect a smoother drive. Faced with a steady growth in traffic volume there, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) has announced plans to further develop the Old Woodlands Checkpoint. The S$2.5 million project will enable lorries and motorcycles to be cleared faster during peak hours, easing congestion all around. The existing Woodlands checkpoint was designed to handle 35.2 million vehicles a year. But last year alone, 38.7 million vehicles passed through it.
