Jurong Island Highway


The Jurong Island Highway is a major highway in Singapore which links Jurong Pier Road in Jurong Port of the main island to Jurong Island. It was opened in March 1999. It is also the only highway within Jurong Island.
There are plans to build a second causeway to link the Western end of Jurong Island Highway and Gul Road in Jurong Industrial Estate, Mainland Singapore but the plan was put on hold due to the possibility that the causeway might affect the passage of ships to the shipyards in the Southern part of Jurong Industrial Area.
A speed camera was set up in 2009 next to the CNG station.

History

Plans for the Jurong Island Highway were first announced in August 1988 as part of Phase I of the Jurong Port expansion programme, a two-lane long causeway that would connect Pulau Dama Laut to mainland Singapore. In July 1991, it was announced that there were plans to merge seven Southern islands into a "chemical" island via a causeway between Pulau Seraya, Pulau Ayer Merbau, and Pulau Sakra. Construction for said causeway started by December, with completion by March 1993.
