由来
  • “新马第二通道”意译自英语“Malaysia-Singapore Second Link”（也称“Second Link”/“Tuas Second Link”）。
  • 这座公路大桥全长1.918公里，宽30.1公尺。大桥双向行驶，各有三条车道。桥身约1.748公里在马来西亚水域，约0.17公里在新加坡水域。
  • 1994年3月22日，新加坡国家发展部代部长林勋强与马来西亚工程部长拿督廖莫（Dato Leo Moggie）于马来西亚吉隆坡签约，以建立第二通道。大桥于1994年十月动工，1998年1月2日上午10时通车。
  • 1998年4月18日进行开幕礼，时任新加坡总理吴作栋与时任马来西亚首相马哈迪（Mahathir）出席了开幕礼。
  • 兴建第二通道是为了解决兀兰关卡（Woodlands Checkpoint，又称“第一通道”、“新柔长堤”）交通拥挤的问题。
  • 第二通道对离境与抵境的车辆收取通行费。通行初期，在繁忙时段离境或抵境时，重型车辆需缴付新币12元，货车和小型卡车需缴付新币6元，汽车则需缴付新币2.50元。目前，在繁忙时段，重型车辆需缴付新币11.30元，货车和小型卡车需缴付新币5.6元，汽车则需缴付新币2.10元。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “新马第二通道” is a paraphrase of the English term “Malaysia-Singapore Second Link” (also known as Second Link/Tuas Second Link).
  • The bridge is 1.918 kilometres long and 30.1 metres wide, with three lanes in each direction. About 1.748 kilometres of the bridge runs over Malaysian waters, and about 0.17 kilometres over Singapore waters.
  • The agreement to construct the Second Link was signed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 22 March 1994 by Singapore’s then Acting Minister for National Development Lim Hng Kiang and Malaysia’s then Minister of Works Leo Moggie. Construction of the bridge began in October 1994, and it was opened to traffic at 10 am on 2 January 1998.
  • The official opening ceremony on 18 April 1998 was attended by Singapore’s then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong and Malaysia’s then Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.
  • The Second Link was constructed to address the problem of traffic congestion at Woodlands Checkpoint.
  • Singapore began collecting tolls from motorists departing from and arriving in Singapore via the Second Link. When the tolls were first imposed, heavy vehicles entering and leaving during peak hours had to pay S$12 each way. The rate for vans and small lorries was S$6, while the rate for cars was S$2.50. Currently, the peak-hour rate is S$11.30 for heavy vehicles, S$5.60 for vans and small lorries, and S$2.10 for cars.
例句
