F1 weekend closed roads around Marina Bay for several days. Whether you drive, ride the bus or just need to pass through a busy area, a little planning goes a long way. Here is how to use PantauSivik to find your way, now and the next time roads are closed for an event.
What changed
According to the Land Transport Authority, roads around the Marina Centre and Padang area were closed from 12.01am on 7 October until 5.30am on 13 October 2026. Some roads open briefly at set times, one access lane serves Marina Centre at limited hours, and the car parks at Suntec City, Millenia Walk and Marina Square stay open.

Four ways to plan around it
- Trip Planner. Enter where you are going and compare walking, MRT, bus, taxi and drive options. Leave a little earlier than usual and pick the route with the fewest surprises.
- Transit. See live bus arrivals at your stop and how crowded MRT and LRT platforms are, so you can dodge the busiest moments.
- Public Alerts. Bus service alerts tell you about diversions and delays. Road incidents and road works appear under Road Traffic, and road blocks show up under Other.
- Traffic. Check expressway travel times, incidents and live traffic cameras before you drive.
Before you leave
- Open Public Alerts for bus diversions and road blocks.
- Plan your trip and keep a backup route in mind.
- Check Transit for your stop right before you go.
