 The Outer Ring Road System, or more commonly known as ORRS, is a network of major arterial roads in Singapore that forms a 'ring' along the towns outside the city. The ORRS is a semi-expressway, just like the West Coast Highway. Since 1994, roads along the ORRS have been upgraded in stages to provide a smoother route to travel across the island. Construction currently in progress includes Paya Lebar Viaduct and MacRitchie Viaduct.
[edit] BenefitOnce the ORRS is completed, traffic volume on city-bound roads will be reduced. It also provides an alternative route for motorists to travel between the east and west of Singapore without going through the city. Since ORRS is extensively linked to expressways and other arterial roads, such as Bukit Timah Road, motorists can get from one traffic route to another easily. It also serve as alternative bypass routes in the East-West corridor for motorists to travel without going through the city centre. [edit] Upgrading projectThe first upgrading stage started in 1994. Two junctions along Farrer Road were the first to be upgraded. The upgrading project had to be carried out in stages in order to minimise disruption to traffic. The completion of the Portsdown Flyover, Queensway Flyover and Queensway Underpass marks another milestone in the realisation of the ORRS. The Farrer Road section of the upgrading project is expected to be completed by 2009. [edit] RouteThe ORRS starts from Still Road South and it connects with East Coast Parkway. It then goes north to Still Road and Jalan Eunos, where it links with Pan Island Expressway. It then continues to go north to Eunos Link and Hougang Avenue 3. From here, a left turn is made at Hougang Avenue 3 and the route continues west to Bartley Road, Braddell Road and Lornie Road. A connection is made to the Central Expressway during this stretch. The route then continues south to Adam Road, Farrer Road, Queensway and Portsdown Avenue. During this stretch, a connection is made to the Pan Island Expressway. The ORRS ends at Ayer Rajah Expressway, with the connection with Portsdown Avenue. [edit] Interchange along ORRS
