Construction for the MCE began in 2008 and was completed at the end of 2013.[1][2] The expressway was officially opened on 28 December 2013 by Senior Minister of State Josephine Teo in the presence of Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong,[3] and was opened for vehicular traffic the next day.[4][5] RouteThe 5-kilometre (3.1-mile) MCE connects with the southern end of the KPE and its junction with the ECP to the eastern end of AYE. This links the eastern and western parts of Singapore to the New Downtown, currently being developed in the Marina Bay area. The MCE, with five lanes in each direction, handles the large number of commuters to be drawn to the offices, homes and recreational attractions there. It opens access to the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore in Marina South and the existing Marina South Pier.{{R|MCE}} Bus 30 is the only bus to use the expressway following amendments to its route.{{Citation needed|date=November 2017}} List of Exits
HistoryPlans to extend the KPE to join the AYE began in 9 March 2006, in helping to relieve congestion of the East Coast Parkway, and it will be called Marina Coastal Expressway. Feasibility studies were conducted for the new expressway, which was later announced in 28 July 2007. On 27 July 2007, the Land Transport Authority announced that approval had been given for the construction of a new 5 km long Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) at a cost of $2.5 billion.[6] The expressway, which includes Singapore's first undersea tunnel, links the East Coast Parkway and Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway to Marina South and Ayer Rajah Expressway and opened to traffic 29 December 2013.[7][8] The expressway comprises a 3.5-kilometre (2.2-mile) underground tunnel, while the rest are at grade or depressed, with a view of the Singapore Strait.[9] The underground tunnel includes a 420-metre (459-yard) stretch that travels under the seabed, 150 metres (164 yards) away from the Marina Barrage. This had posed particular engineering challenges in the tunnel construction as large amounts of water were let out from the barrage from time to time.[10] At its deepest point, the expressway lies about {{convert|20|m|ft}} under the seabed.{{R|MCE}} The 5-kilometre (3.1-mile) long MCE is Singapore's most expensive expressway. On 28 April 2009, the Land Transport Authority revealed that it has awarded about S$4.1 billion worth of contracts, much more than the initial estimate of $2.5 billion.[11] The construction of the MCE also required undersea dredging. More than 22 hectares (54 acres) of land was reclaimed to build the MCE.{{R|MCE}} In contrast, the KPE, which is {{convert|12|km|mi}} and has portions running under canals and rivers, cost only $1.74 billion. After the MCE was opened, the segment of the ECP between Central Boulevard and Benjamin Sheares Bridge was downgraded to become Sheares Avenue. The segment of the ECP between the AYE and Central Boulevard was permanently demolished.[12] The first few days of operations was plagued by heavy traffic congestion due to drivers' unfamiliarity with the expressway as well as connections with other roads and expressways. There was reportedly heavier than usual traffic, compared to using the old route via ECP, on 29 December 2013, the first day the MCE opened. The situation was exacerbated on the next day with the Monday morning peak hour traffic. However, the majority of drivers are aware of the road changes. Since June 2014, the Marina Coastal Expressway became the anchor road from the west to the east.[13][14] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltaweb/en/roads-and-motoring/projects/marina-coastal-expressway-mce.html | title=Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) | work=Land Transport Authority | accessdate=13 November 2013}} {{Expressways of Singapore}}{{coord missing|Singapore}}2. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onemotoring/en/on_the_roads/road_projects/construction_of_marina.html | title=Construction of Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) | work=One.Motoring | accessdate=13 November 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/marina-coastal-expressway/936052.html | title=Marina Coastal Expressway "toughest tunnelling project": Josephine Teo | publisher=Channel NewsAsia | date=28 December 2013 | accessdate=29 December 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/singapore/story/singapores-first-undersea-road-marina-coastal-expressway-set-open-dec- | title=Singapore's first undersea road - Marina Coastal Expressway - set to open on Dec 29 | publisher=The Straits Times | date=13 November 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/smooth-flowing-traffic-as/936926.html |title=Smooth-flowing traffic as Marina Coastal Expressway opens |publisher=Channel NewsAsia |author=Saifulbahri Ismail |date=29 December 2013 |accessdate=29 December 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131230231740/http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/smooth-flowing-traffic-as/936926.html |archivedate=30 December 2013 |df= }} 6. ^{{cite press release |url= http://app.lta.gov.sg/corp_press_content.asp?start=1802 |title= Government Approves the Construction of MCE |publisher= Land Transport Authority |date= 27 July 2007 |deadurl= yes |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20070818090624/http://app.lta.gov.sg/corp_press_content.asp?start=1802 |archivedate= 18 August 2007 |df= dmy-all }} 7. ^{{cite news |title= Marina expressway to be ready by year-end |url= http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/singapore/story/marina-expressway-be-ready-year-end-20130517 |work= The Straits Times |accessdate= 31 May 2013}} 8. ^{{cite news |url= http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/singapore/story/singapores-first-undersea-road-marina-coastal-expressway-set-open-dec- |title= Singapore's first undersea road—Marina Coastal Expressway—set to open on Dec 29 |work= The Straits Times |date= 13 November 2013}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onemotoring/en/on_the_roads/road_projects/construction_of_marina.MainPar.65502.File.tmp/MCEAnnexB.pdf|title=Alignment Map for MCE|work=One Motoring|accessdate=13 November 2013}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltaweb/en/roads-and-motoring/projects/marina-coastal-expressway-mce/building-challenges.html|title=Building Challenges|work=Land Transport Authority|accessdate=13 November 2013}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://app.lta.gov.sg/apps/news/page.aspx?c=2&id=2117|title=Marina Coastal Expressway Breaks Ground Today|publisher=Land Transport Authority|date=28 April 2009|accessdate=13 November 2013|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113035117/http://app.lta.gov.sg/apps/news/page.aspx?c=2&id=2117|archivedate=13 November 2013|df=}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltaweb/en/roads-and-motoring/projects/marina-coastal-expressway-mce/features.html|title=Features|work=Land Transport Authority|accessdate=13 November 2013}} 13. ^{{cite web | url=http://sg.news.yahoo.com/confusion--jams-on-marina-coastal-expressway-in-singapore-033337581.html | title=Confusion, jams on Marina Coastal Expressway in Singapore | work=Yahoo News Singapore | date=30 December 2013 |accessdate=30 December 2013}} 14. ^{{cite news| url=http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/mce-gridlock-last-week-due-drivers-unfamiliarity-lui |title=MCE gridlock last week due to drivers’ unfamiliarity: Lui |newspaper=Today |date=7 January 2014 |accessdate=17 March 2017}} 8 : Expressways in Singapore|Road tunnels in Singapore|Kallang|Downtown Core (Singapore)|Marina East|Marina South|Straits View|Articles containing video clips |
