Gnihc11 1st Gear November 19, 2009 Author Share November 19, 2009 Flash floods in Bt Timah Home > Breaking News > Singapore > Story Nov 19, 2009 HEAVY downpours caused flash floods in the Bukit Timah areas, with waters reaching knee-high in some places. Traffic snarled along Bukit Timah and Dunearn Roads as cars slowed to a crawl to get through the flood waters. Motorists said the Bukit Timah canal was overflowing, causing waters to rise to knee-high level in some areas. Students who had sat for their A Level exams were stuck at bus-stops and in schools. According to Stomper Martin, the flooding caused a major traffic jam on Bukit Timah and Dunearn Road sometime between 1 pm and 2.30pm. He said he was stuck in his office at Sime Darby Centre during the heavy downpour and was late for a meeting because of it. Singapore's weatherman has forecast that the wet spell will continue till January and flash floods are expected in low-lying and flood-prone areas including Chinatown, the Central Business District, Geylang, Lorong Buangkok and Tanjong Katong. PUB, the national water agency, has said that heavy rain brought on by the north-east monsoon could coincide with 3m- to 3.2m-high tides, triggering flash floods over the next few months. To quell the effects of the stormy spell, PUB has invested $59 million over the last 12 months to widen and deepen drainage networks, as well as raise the roads in 10 low-lying areas such as Cuscaden Road, Mountbatten Road and Commonwealth Avenue. Since last month, the agency has advised 204 residents and businesses to store belongings on elevated ground and place sandbags at entrances to block flooding. If you have been affected by the floods or have more details, send them to us. You can also email photos to us at [email protected]. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
