ERP on MCE and ECP
As the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) has only recently replaced the east-west function of the East Coast Parkway (ECP), ERP on the MCE has been operating during the same time periods and at the same prevailing rates as the ECP since its opening on 29 December 2013.
LTA has been closely monitoring the traffic conditions on the MCE as well as on the ECP. Based on traffic data, traffic conditions have generally improved on both the MCE and the ECP during ERP operating hours.
Hence, the ERP rates on the MCE and the ECP during the time periods where the speeds have improved significantly will be reduced, including a one-off reduction of a $2 quantum during 0830h-0900h on the westbound MCE and ECP.
Going forward, LTA will determine the ERP rates for the MCE and ECP based on the usual approach for expressways.
Next ERP Rate Review
The next ERP review will take place in May 2014 for the second quarterly rate review of 2014.
