Woodlands Checkpoint is an immigration and customs clearance facility for various modes of land transport commuting between Singapore and Malaysia. The new checkpoint, which is about 8 times bigger than the old one, enjoys an increase in clearance facilities and the capacity to handle a higher traffic volume. Its northern gateway comprises five building blocks, with bridges conjoining four blocks to form a single megastructure of integrated group of buildings. To complement the entire set-up, a new set of road infrastructure links the new complex directly to nearby expressways such as Bukit Timah Expressway, Woodlands Road and the Causeway.
Operational zones are created based on a multiple ground level concept, separating the clearance facilities for different modes of transport into different levels and distinct zones. In between these levels and along the circulation routes are lushly landscaped interstitial spaces that lets in daylight and promote natural ventilation. The project was awarded the Garden City Award (Merit) in 2001 for its lush landscaping.
