However, these rehearsals mean road closures and traffic delays for drivers this weekend, so be prepared!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rehearsal Dates and Closures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rehearsals are happening on <strong>Saturday, June 15th<\/strong> and <strong>Saturday, June 22nd<\/strong>. During these days, expect road closures around the Padang area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Public Transport is Your Best Bet:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Singapore Police Force (SPF) strongly advises <strong>avoiding driving<\/strong> in the vicinity of the Padang. Roads will be closed to regular traffic, with access restricted to authorized vehicles, police, and emergency services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who must drive, be on the lookout for police officers, auxiliary police, security personnel, and Singapore Armed Forces marshals who will be present to assist with traffic flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expect Delays in These Areas:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re not driving near the Padang itself, anticipate traffic delays on major roads like Beach Road, Bras Basah Road, Collyer Quay, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alternative Routes for Suntec City and Marina Square:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re travelling to Suntec City or Marina Square from Bras Basah Road, Esplanade Drive, or Nicoll Highway, consider taking a detour via Bayfront Avenue or Rochor Road leading to Temasek Boulevard to avoid congestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bus Service Disruptions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware of potential disruptions to bus services around the Civic District on both rehearsal dates. Check the websites of SMRT and SBS Transit for updates on affected bus routes and any temporary stop skipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid unnecessary delays and frustration, plan your trip this weekend with the road closures and potential traffic congestion in mind. Consider using public transport or carpooling if possible.
