caption_attribution_description: The Bukit Timah Expressway, a major arterial road in northern/central Singapore. View is looking South (to PIE.)
context_page_description: The Expressways of Singapore is a network of controlled-access highways that spans throughout the city-state of Singapore. Construction of the system was authorized when construction of the Pan Island Expressway began in 1962. All of them are dual carriageways with grade-separated access. They usually have three to four lanes in each direction, although there are two-lane carriageways at many expressway intersections and five-lane carriageways in some places.
  Construction on the first expressway, the Pan Island Expressway, was completed in 1969. As of 2014, there are ten expressways in Singapore totalling 163 kilometres.
  In addition to the main expressways, there are also six semi-expressways: Bukit Timah Expressway, Jurong Island Highway, Nicoll Highway, the Outer Ring Road System, Lornie Highway and West Coast Highway. These semi-expressways are scaled down versions of the main expressways.

  Construction on the first expressway, the Pan Island Expressway, was completed in 1969. As of 2014, there are ten expressways in Singapore totalling 163 kilometres (101 mi).
  In addition to the main expressways, there are also six semi-expressways: Bukit Timah Expressway, Jurong Island Highway, Nicoll Highway, the Outer Ring Road System (ORRS), Lornie Highway and West Coast Highway. These semi-expressways are scaled down versions of the main expressways. Semi-expressways do not have a uniform speed limit through its entire length, and some sections still feature traffic light controlled junctions, such as the eastern section of the ORRS, some of Bukit Timah, the southern section of the Jurong Island Highway and the western sections of Nicoll Highway and West Coast Highway. Still, just like expressways, semi-expressways allow motorists to travel quickly from one urban area to another with the use of viaducts, overpasses and tunnels.
