由来
  • 英语“expressway”的意译。
  • 新加坡最早于1964年开始兴建快速公路。1969年，汤申路与兀士维利十字路（Woodsville Circle）之间的快速公路路段通车，成为新加坡第一条快速公路，如今已并入泛岛快速公路。
  • 1960年代，新加坡经济腾飞，为了应付经济发展过程中的运输需求，政府在联合国开发计划署（United Nations Development Programme）的协助下，从1968年至1971年间致力于制定新加坡国家暨城市规划（State and City Planning Project）。1971年，政府制定了“1971概念图”（1971 Concept Plan）的长期发展计划，首次针对性探讨综合土地规划、交通需求下的土地使用等课题。
  • 此计划旨在建造连接全国的长距离快速公路。
  • 此计划的基础设施蓝图涵盖一个围绕中央集水区（Central Catchment Area）展开并连接所有开发区的快速公路网络。开发区包括市区（Downtown area）、裕廊（Jurong）、樟宜（Changi）及各个新市镇（new towns）。
  • 1981年，连接樟宜机场和市区的东海岸公园大道（East Coast Parkway）正式开幕。这是发展计划中首个主要交通基础设施项目中的第一条快速公路。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “快速公路” is a paraphrase of the English term “expressway”.
  • The earliest construction of expressways in Singapore began in 1964. In 1969, the section between Thomson Road and Woodsville Circle became the first expressway to open in Singapore, and is today part of the Pan-Island Expressway.
  • As Singapore’s economy grew rapidly during the 1960s, the Government embarked on the State and City Planning Project from 1968 to 1971 to address the corresponding increase in demand for transportation, with the help of the United Nations Development Programme. In 1971, the Singapore Government formulated the 1971 Concept Plan to facilitate long-term development and explored the issues of comprehensive land use planning and land use for transportation for the first time.
  • The plan aimed to build long-distance expressways connecting the entire island, and a rapid transit system in Singapore.
  • The plan’s infrastructure blueprint included a network of expressways surrounding the Central Catchment Area and connecting all parts of the island marked for development, including the Downtown area, Jurong, Changi, and various new towns.
  • In 1981, the East Coast Parkway, connecting Changi Airport and the downtown area, was officially opened. This was the first expressway in the first major transport infrastructure project in the Concept Plan.
