SINGAPORE: Checking in at public venues using TraceTogether could become easier and faster, if a new device on trial at Downtown East mall gets the green light. Designed and built by the Smart Nation and Digital Government Group (SNDGG), the SafeEntry Gateway aims to provide a “more seamless and convenient check-in experience” for TraceTogether users, who can avoid the long queues to scan QR codes or their identity cards for SafeEntry check-in that are sometimes seen during peak hours at popular venues.

Unfinished connection from Vo Van Kiet Street to National Route 1A One of the most frequently congested areas is the Nguyen Van Linh overpass - National Route 1A, the intersection linking HCMC and cross-region highways which receive insane traffic each day. As a result, some narrow sections of these streets have become degraded faster, making the traffic jams and air pollution more severe. IDICO, a prominent urban development company, in the past proposed a BOT project to get funds for upgrading the National Highway running through An Suong - An Lac, involving expanding the road to accommodate four car lanes and two mix-traffic lanes. The project was worth VND1,880 billion at the time (about US$81.5 million, but never came to fruition due to administrative complications. Besides the aforementioned locations, many other sections along major highways cannot meet the increasing traffic volume such as sections on national routes 1A and 50, Dinh Duc Thien Street and others, which … [Read more...] about Poor infrastructures plague HCMC western gateway
