It used to take me under 30 minutes to enter the CIQ and emerge out of the Woodlands Checkpoint.
Until Tuesday, 6 April 2010. That was when the brilliant minds of the people constructing the new flyover into the CIQ decided to close one of the two lanes leading onto the causeway.I am certain of this date as I still keep the SMS a fellow Causeway Crusader sent me to complain about this jam.
And that's the reason why I am taking nearly one hour everyday for the same distance.
I still remember that morning of 6 April vividly. I usually enter the CIQ from the Stulang Laut / De Bali entrance, and I was startled when there was a queue that extended not too far after the traffic lights.
It took me 40 min to enter the CIQ from there. And only after a traffic police turned up to direct traffic at the traffic lights outside the CIQ.
Imagine having motorbikes, buses and cars all filtering into just this one lane. And for some strange reason, Tuesdays seem to have the HEAVIEST flow of traffic in the week rather than Mondays these days.
Judging from the state of the (lack of) completion of the flyover I don't think this situation will improve anytime soon.
Hang in there, fellow crusaders.
