SINGAPORE: Visitors heading to the Singapore Airshow this year can expect road closures and revised public transport arrangements to help cope with the large crowds the event will attract.
Its organiser Experia Events in a statement on Jan 12 said the revised road and traffic arrangements will be in place for about 2½ weeks.
The traffic changes and road diversions will kick in on Jan 26 and end at 6am on Feb 12.
The aerospace and defence exhibition, held every two years, will run from Feb 3 to 8 at Changi Exhibition Centre. More than 1,000 firms from about 50 countries and regions will be taking part, and the show will feature a brand new Space Summit.
The first four days of the air show will be reserved for trade visitors. The last two days will be open to the public.
Visitors using wheelchairs can use wheelchair-accessible buses and parking spaces.
However, motorised and non-motorised active mobility devices, such as power-assisted bicycles, hoverboards, motorised scooters, bicycles, skateboards, kick-scooters and mobility scooters, will not be allowed, the statement said. - The Straits Times/ANN
