In a major 2025 LTA toll update, several ERP charges Singapore will be lifted as part of a road decongestion review and public transport improvement plan. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) confirmed that this ERP removal 2025 effort is based on declining traffic volumes in selected areas during key time slots.
These changes come as a relief for motorists frustrated by daily tolls, especially those driving through less congested corridors. The affected roads will soon be toll-free during specific periods or entirely, based on usage data collected over the past year.
Which Roads Are Affected by the ERP Removal?
Here’s the updated list of roads and gantries where ERP charges Singapore will be removed or reduced in 2025:
| Road/Gantry Location | Change Type | Effective Date |
|---|---|---|
| Upper Bukit Timah Road (towards city) | ERP removed fully | June 2025 |
| KPE (northbound) before Defu Flyover | ERP removed off-peak | July 2025 |
| AYE (westbound) after Jurong Town Hall | ERP removed off-peak | August 2025 |
| PIE (towards Changi) after Adam Rd | ERP charge reduced | June 2025 |
| CTE (towards city) at Ang Mo Kio Ave 5 | ERP removed fully | September 2025 |
These gantry changes are part of a dynamic pricing model designed to better reflect actual traffic flow and promote public transport in highly connected zones.
Why the ERP Charges Are Being Adjusted
The ERP removal 2025 strategy was implemented due to:
-
Traffic volume reductions in previously high-congestion areas
-
Increased MRT and bus usage
-
Calls from residents and businesses for toll relief
-
Encouragement of off-peak driving and carpooling
This LTA toll update supports the broader government aim of reducing unnecessary costs for regular commuters while still managing peak-hour traffic in critical zones.
How This Affects Motorists in 2025
For drivers, the elimination of ERP charges Singapore in these zones means more flexibility in route planning, reduced daily commuting expenses, and better integration with other toll pricing strategies.
Here’s what you can expect:
-
Lower cost for daily commuters using affected routes
-
Dynamic pricing during peak vs. off-peak hours
-
GPS and ERP readers will be updated automatically
-
Continued ERP charges in high-density zones like Orchard and Marina Bay
The ERP removal 2025 plan is selective and data-driven, so motorists should continue checking official LTA channels for updates.
