The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority announced today that an extension of the Woodlands Checkpoint (WCP) will be built at the Old Woodlands Town Centre (OWTC), as part of its efforts to upgrade the WCP. The WCP has to be upgraded to meet growing traffic needs and ensure that immigration clearance remains secure. Two lots of private land within the OWTC, located immediately east of the current WCP, will need to be acquired to build the extension of WCP. The Singapore Land Authority has gazetted the acquisition of the affected land today.
