SINGAPORE: A large crack on Adam Road caused traffic jams along Adam Road and Lornie Road on Friday (Jun 1) morning.
Motorists were warned via the Expressway Monitoring Advisory System (EMAS) that there was a "massive jam" on Adam Road towards Queensway due to an “uneven road”.

Motorist Augustine Low, 33, said that the traffic seemed to begin from Braddell Road and extended until Adam Road.
"It took me about 20 minutes on a motorcycle to clear the road. Normally it takes me five minutes," Mr Low told Channel NewsAsia.
