If you're planning to travel around Singapore's beautiful Marina Bay area for your last day of the year, be careful. Cycling enthusiasts will have to leave their bikes on sidewalks in this neighborhood this New Year's Eve, including iconic spots like the Helix Bridge and the Fullerton stretch. These restrictions are part of safety and crowd management measures, as considerable crowds are expected for the many New Year's Eve parties and famous fireworks displays held each year at Marina Bay.
Cycling will be prohibited at the following locations in Marina Bay on December 31, 2024:
- Bayfront Event Space
- Helix Bridge
- Jubilee Bridge
- Fullerton (One Marina Boulevard, The Fullerton Bay Hotel, The Clifford Pier, One Fullerton)
- Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza
- Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade
- Raffles Avenue leading to Bayfront Avenue (just behind NS Square currently under construction)
- The Promontory @ Marina Bay
For a quick visual reference, check out the map at the bottom of this page which shows the “no cycling” areas in Marina Bay for New Year's Eve.
As an aside, remember that those who drive or plan to take a taxi in the neighborhood should also prepare themselves for the increase in road closures in the city – both total and partial.
On a positive note, public transport timetables will be extended on December 31, 2024, with the last train departing as late as 2:15 a.m. and the last bus as late as 3:25 a.m., depending on your departure point and destination. So, even without your favorite bike, getting home after the holidays and New Year's after parties shouldn't pose too many problems.
Meanwhile, Singapore offers many other cycle paths as well as new routes worth exploring if you want to enjoy one last ride before the end of 2024.
