The 2024 Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix will bring exciting races but also significant road closures. F1 Singapore road closures in the Marina Centre and Padang area will take place over seven days, from 18 to 24 September 2025. Visitors, including Grand Prix Singapore attendees, should prepare for these closures as they move around the city during the race week and encouraged to take public transport during this period.
Be it attending the F1 Singapore 2025 or just commuting through the city, planning ahead is crucial to avoid delays. Here is your guide to F1 Singapore 2025 Road Closure:
The road closures will primarily affect the Marina Centre and Padang areas, which are central to the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix circuit. While these roads will be inaccessible for most of the week, certain corridors will reopen during specific hours on four out of the seven days to ease peak-hour traffic flow.
The road closures during F1 Singapore 2025 will begin at 12:01 AM on September 18 and end by 5:30 AM on September 24, which are essential for the preparation and safe execution of the event. If you’re planning to drive around Marina Centre and Padang areas during this time, it’s crucial to be aware of these changes and consider alternative routes.
For those needing to access the Marina Centre area, alternative routes will be available during selected hours on all seven days of the closure period. Motorists are encouraged to plan their journeys ahead of time and follow the directional signs posted around the affected areas.

As the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2025 takes place on a street circuit, heavy traffic is anticipated around the Circuit Park. During race days from September 20 to 22, train services will be extended, with City Hall MRT station remaining operational until 12:30 AM on September 20 and 21, and until 12:45 AM on September 22. This makes public transport the easiest and most reliable way to get around the city during the event.
When planning your route to the grandstand, consider the nearest gate and your chosen mode of transport—whether it’s MRT, shuttle bus, taxi, or private hire car. Most gates are within walking distance of an MRT station, and your ticket will indicate the recommended gates. Allow extra time for your journey to the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
Note that City Hall MRT station will extend its operating hours until 12:30 AM on September 20 and 21 and until 12:45 AM on September 22, 2025.
