The eastbound stretch of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 outside AMK Hub is expected to become bus-only by 5.30am on Sunday (15 November). The restriction covers the stretch between the mall’s pick-up and drop-off point and the junction with Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8.
The westbound side is first to change. 8world reported that one of the three lanes towards Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 was due to close on Saturday (14 November), leaving two lanes open.
What Drivers and Pedestrians Need to Know
Drivers heading towards the Central Expressway (CTE) can go via Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 or Avenue 5. If you’re driving into AMK Hub during peak hours, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) estimates you could spend an extra 10 to 15 minutes getting in.
The mall’s basement car park and pick-up and drop-off point will stay open. Drivers leaving either will have to turn right onto Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 towards Avenue 6.
LTA advises drivers to follow signs and directions on site.
Bus stops along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 will remain accessible. The pedestrian crossing will move, and the ground-level entrance to the overhead bridge on the mall side will close. During mall opening hours, you can get to the bridge from Level 2 of AMK Hub.
Why the Road Layout Is Changing
LTA paused tunnelling for the Cross Island Line’s Ang Mo Kio station after steel wire ropes tangled around the cutting head of its tunnelling machine. Crews pulled about 800kg of wire rope from the machine between May and July 2026.
LTA traced the ropes to ground anchors, steel structures used to hold retaining walls or other structures in place. The road changes give crews space to investigate the obstruction and carry out recovery work. LTA expects to stabilise the ground before tunnelling resumes.
