ERP to resume in Orchard area for first time since 2020

Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) will resume in Orchard on weekdays starting September 7, 2026, due to congestion issues, according to the Land Transport Authority (LTA). The congestion has been a concern since October 2025, with traffic speeds consistently remaining below optimal levels. The Orchard Cordon is a set of ERP operations at 11 locations, including Buyong Road, Cairnhill Road, and Orchard Road, with a rate of S$1 per hour between 11am and 7pm.

LTA has been closely monitoring the situation, and they may consider extending ERP operation hours if congestion persists. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys and explore alternative routes to avoid delays.
