F1 weekend is here, and the roads around Marina Bay look very different for a few days. Whether you drive, ride the bus or just need to pass through the area, a little planning goes a long way. Here is how to use PantauSivik to find your way.

Plan ahead and the city is easy to get around, even on race weekend.

What is changing

According to the Land Transport Authority, roads around the Marina Centre and Padang area are closed from 12.01am on 7 October until 5.30am on 13 October 2026. Some roads open briefly at set times, one access lane serves Marina Centre at limited hours, and the car parks at Suntec City, Millenia Walk and Marina Square stay open. Details change from day to day, so check the latest notices before you set off.

Four ways to plan around it
